Sea Life Sydney Aquarium

The kids could not get enough of this place they did not want to leave-they had an exciting day looking at the marine animals and sea life-what an amazing and memorable day for us as a family.

Wow what a day-the kids loved the aquarium and wanted to just keep on looking around.creates a lot of memories for your family.was very busy but we still had loads of fun.

Excellent place to take the kids, so much to see and do.
This is the best Aquarium I have been to. Busy on weekends and school holidays.

Great location plenty of places to eat surrounds this Aquarium.

A really good/fun day out.

Nice aquarium and good moment with your familly , you can see a lot of species of sea life , thanks :) !!!!!!!!!

Best aquarium i had seen. The one in melbourne is not at all good when compared to this. i love the style & design of this aquarium.

Approximate cost: $140

Great location. Cheapest place to park would be at Star City casino $15 for the day, otherwise I believe membership allows for closer discounted parking. Gets very busy in school holidays, so if you are able to go during the week you will enjoy if much more. Love the area at the end where you can watch the aquarium wall and listen to relaxing music. Avoid bringing your pram if possible and try to do Wildlife World next door on the same day for discounted entry.

Approximate cost: $20

First time to this aquarium and it was pretty good. Nothing made the WOW factor but was interesting all the same. Sharks swimming overhead was the best part.

Approximate cost: $40

This place is one of the best aquariums in the world. There is a huge variety and it's clear the animals are treated well. When Finding Nemo was in cinemas and just released on dvd, they had a special tank with creatures from the movie. They should definitely bring this back. There are huge underwater walkways to see sharks, colourful fish, and even dugongs. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. My favourite is the jellyfish. They look spectacular in the dark.

I took my nephews here last holidays, we all thoroughly enjoyed it.
They had such a huge variety of displays and the kids especially loved the interactive ones, where they got a chance to touch some of the animals.
The glass bottomed boat was an amazing experience, especially when we looked down and there was a great big shark underfoot
My tip would be to book online and not but tickets at the door, that way you can save a bit if money.

I took my 6yr old son to here for the first time it was a great day its beautiful to look at all the tanks,we paid abit extra to go behind sene's to feed the fish i loved the dugongs and the manta rays,sting rays and a few of the sharks,there were alot of favourites for me and my son also hands on experience looking and touching shark eggs was extra cool,great to show kids whats in our ocean and how they can care for the animals too,truely rewarding day!!

Awesome place! They recently renovated and it looks so much better. It can be a bit crowded but there are little areas that you can take a breather in and get away from the strollers. Everything looked fresh and clean. The gift shop is surprisingly not too overpriced - I got a small stuffed animal for around $5.00. The best deal is to get the attraction packs, with multiple tickets to other attractions for a lower price. Its even cheaper to buy them online, and you don't even have to print the ticket!

Wow what an amazing place to take the family, I took my daughter here for her birthday this year and it was amazing, there were so many wonderful animals to see, we even went on the glass bottom boat. Wow what an experience we got to feed the fish off the boat and even got to name a fish, was one of the best family outing we have been on.

We went to Sydney on a Day trip earlier this year and we decided to take the children to Sydney Aquarium as it was one of the perfect tourist places to go (we couldn't go to Taronga zoo as it was pouring with rain!) It was very busy the day we went but that didn't stop us from learning about the different creatures they had there. My highlight was seeing Dugongs!! They had 2 beautiful dugongs there and they were amazing to watch! The set up was very pretty and very inviting for not only children but for adults too. The only thing I didn't like was the fact they had a lack of parents rooms and no microwave to heat up baby bottles as I had my 4 month old baby with me as well as my 4 year old. We experienced a small boat trip on top of the shark tank which scared the life out of me!! Thank goodness none of the sharks got too close otherwise I would of been running on top of the water to get out of there! I definite must see when in Darling Harbour.

This is one of the best aquariums I have been to. There is such a wide variety of displays and lots of interactive stations if you want more information. There are some talks on which are quite good, and activities if you have children. It is a bit pricey but if you book online beforehand it is a lot cheaper than at the door.

Approximate cost: $28-38

the entry fee is high, however there are always specials on to view wildlife park as well as the aquarium etc, which are better value for money. the aquarium has a lot of animals and there is no time limit on your visit and u can revisit any part of the aquarium as many times as you want. this is great experience for everyone of all ages.

At first I thought admission prices were a bit expensive, but we had a voucher for buy one get one free, and they have a lot of deals so its not too bad. I love it here, it is set out great so you see everythig without having to backtrack. I miss the seals being there but still love walking under the sharks and seeing the dugong is great too. A must for families with kids!

Definitely somewhere you have to go if you have kids. Can become an expensive day out so pack some food and drinks. great day out for the whole family

We visited here with our children and loved it. It's exciting to see all the creatures swimming around right there in front of you. There is a photo opportunity where we sat on something inanimate but when you saw the photo the whole family was sitting on a gigantic turtle swimming in the water. Very cute! My youngest wants to go back already!

My relatives came to Sydney from overseas. I took them to the Sydney Aquarium for half a day and they loved it, especially the kids. They have a little pool section where we get to dip our hands into the water and hold the star fish etc. and the tunnel which we get can through was amazing, seeing the gigantic sharks swimming above us. I love the polar bear which is so white and fluffy, it was so close right next to the clear window which we feel so close to it. Highly recommended place for a fun day out.

Went here a few years ago with my family for a day out. Found is to be very very exciting and different. The range of fish,sharks,rays ect was outstanding and out of this world!.

Would be a good day out with the family, we had so much fun. Prices are good,very fair. They have a really nice gift shop too..full of goodies.

If you are comming from newcastle or central coast i recommend just catching a train down, save on parking and stress!

I will be planning to visit again soon.

One of the best attractions in Sydney. I came here on a public holiday and it was jam packed. Waited almost an hour in line but it was worth the wait. There are amazing creatures on display ranging from native wildlife such as the platypus to the more exotic dugongs and grey nurse sharks. The underwater tunnels are mesmerising. It's probably best to go on a weekday if you want to avoid the crowds. You could probably spend a few hours because its a very large exhibit with plenty to see.

I think this is a great place to go with a friend. The best part is when you go through the tunnel and you can see the fish swim above and around you. I had a 2 for 1 voucher from the Entertainment book, which made it more affordable for my friend and I.

Excelllent place to take kids ,they get so excited and love the huge sharks swimming above thier heads. Great experiences touching and feeling all sorts of sea life. So much to see and do.

Great place to take family from inter-state. Took my family from Queensland and they loved it. It is a little expensive but in all it is value for money. Try and go on a weekday as the weekends get very busy

Have taken the kids here, they loved it
very clean and great presentation, staff nicely dressed
reasonable prices, good central place, always busy

Approximate cost: $52.00

Love the aquarium.
Usually a good place to take a tourist friend.
It's not as exciting for me anymore that I've been here a dozen and a half times.

Great venue to visit as a family or to take a tourist friend.

Thoroughly enjoyed spending time here with my children and grandchildren. The cousins had a ball and smallest one kept the older ones busy. Such a variety of fish occupied them for a long time. One of the older ones was scared in the tunnel though. It is a fascinating place. We also had a quick lunch there before catching the ferry back to where we were staying. This is a place not to be missed.

Really enjoyed watching them explore the tropical fish touch tank with the variety of colourful fish. The penguins were fascinating too.

The only downside was the parents room for changing babies. It was very cramped and smelly.

affordable, kids loved it. loved the sharks, scared the hell out of me, but the kids loved them, wide aray of animals even hands on tanks which were awsome.

Approximate cost: $75

The aquarium here is one of the best I've ever been to- the tunnel in which you can see all the sting rays and sharks provides an amazing experience and a great place for a day out.

A great place to spend a rainy day with kids. The aquarium is going through a restructuring at the moment and is due to open new exhibits in next few months.
The best thing are combo tickets - Sydney Aquarium, Wildlife, Manly Oceanworld, Centre point, Madame Tussauds

Approximate cost: $65 for a combo
