Always fantastic experience and great learning for everyone. We hadn't been for around 3 years. It's changed a lot with improved exhibits, clearer access and pathways, and stunning exhibits and experiences. Not necessarily cheap, but you'd expect that. On-site cafe is handy but quite dear. Definitely worth a visit. Try to book a quieter time for the best experience.
Sensational experience. There were a lot of people when I visited today. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the layout meant we got great views of all the displays. The displays were creative and informative. The short movie was wonderful - enjoyed by all three generations in our group. A wonderful way to spend a few hours.
Fantastic aquarium and worth the money. We spent about 2 hours exploring and definitely felt that we received great value for the ticket. The jellyfish, stingrays, and sharks were the highlight of my trip and they had beautiful enclosures. The only downside was the penguins. They are gorgeous animals to watch but the enclosure felt a bit grim. I understand it is up to standard for animal welfare, but seeing such gorgeous creatures standing on blue plastic mats within concrete walls was a bit sad and it seemed like they are lacking enrichment. Even if these animals have never experienced their natural habitat I feel more effort could be spent in enhancing the enclosure. That being said they did appear healthy and well cared for. Overall would visit again and do recommend people visit. But if you are only interested in the penguins then perhaps it is not worth the money.
Visited over the weekend with my two young children booked for a 9.30am slot. Line was long to get in but moved smoothly until the line for the sealife photos. Even if you don't want the photos, you still have to wait in the cue, which was not managed by any staff, despite there being two lines and people cutting in. Once you are past this, you are able to move around the exhibitions freely. Unfortunately, as someone with a baby in a pram, this was extremely difficult as numbers are not capped and every walkway is narrow and difficult to get past. To move between floors, you have to wait an extremely long time for a tiny lift for pram access or risk it going up and down the stairs. Anywhere there was a ramp, you could not get past with one in each direction safely. Majority of the exhibitions were great, but we noticed a fair few were missing animals or under repair. Additionally the 4D cinemas was closed as were the rock pools. It's a shame that it is allowed to be so crowded with people on the weekends as it makes accessibility really difficult and as someone who doesn't have the option to come during the week, it makes for a disappointing family day out when people are pushing you around exhibitions. I believe this would be a great experience if they had staff on the floor to manage how many people can be in and out of certain areas, not only for comfort, but should there be a need to evacuate, you would have a stampede of people and injuries would be likely. It was also disappointing to find that every single baby change toilet the nappy bins were overflowing with nappies, yet we had only been inside for less than 30 minutes from when they opened. I would say the bins had easily been neglected from the day before and the smell was revolting. I recommend visiting, but with no pram and during the week as you would not have to endure the chaos of the weekend visit.
Very great experience. Can be quite expensive for an adult over $40. Took me and my mate one hour to go through the entire aquarium. Fascinating creatures I loved seeing them all! They have descriptions for some exhibits if you wish to learn more about them.
LOVE LOVE LOVED IT !!! The walk through tunnel and the penguins were my favourite beside the 5D .Lot's of interactive activities for kids. Cafe was very busy and food was moderately priced. Fun day out for our group of 5. I recommend purchase online tickets inadvance.
Sea life Melbourne is a great choice for visiting during school holidays. I booked the day before and paid for it. The price is reasonable. You can get there easily by tram or train. The staff are really friendly and kind. The fish and sea creatures are really amazing and my children love there so much. Highly recommended for children between 3-12 years old. It has a 4D cinema as well and we enjoyed a lot.
I genuinely enjoyed my experience. I spent probably 60-90minutes exploring the place while obsessively trying to line up the perfect pictures. The large tank that you walk under and around was truly mesmerizing. I've never seen a sawfish up close and in such detail. I went as a solo traveler, and while it's definitely gear towards children it's just as entertaining for patient adults.
In July 2022 I visited with my family - a great aquarium with lots of marine life to see and learn about. We had young kids with us on this visit so it was awesome seeing them learning about the fish, seahorses, coral, and penguins. We enjoyed lunch here too in the cafe on site, there are lots of seats and tables available. The space is wheelchair accessible and we had a small child in a pushchair with us which was no problem at all. There's a fun photo booth inside the aquarium and our family had great fun watching us pulling faces in our photos! It's a tradition for us to buy a squashed penny as well so we did that too. I'm definitely coming back again when I'm next in Melbourne.
Loved it! The walk through tunnel and the penguins were my favourite. Lot's of interactive activities for kids. Cafe was very busy and food was moderately priced. Fun day out for our family. If driving I recommend purchasing online tickets and at checkout add the $9 weekend parking. It works out cheaper and it's only a short walk.
