Wonderful aquarium right in the heart of Sydney. See an amazing array of sea life and walk through the clear tunnel with sharks and rays swimming right over the top of you. A must do if in Sydney

I went to this place twice! In same trip 😊 The most beautiful place to be if you wish to visit most exotic species. The most exciting for me - the cute penguins playing around and walking so cutely. I even saw them swimming 😍 Also, Dugong, playing and entertaining everyone was one of a site. There were sharks 🦈 in the aquarium. So dangerous looking amd wild. But it was all around me. Every tiny to huge fish 🎣 in aquarium. Must take the passes and visit. Penguins watching closed early so don’t be late.

It's been here so long that you don't know how much is the same and how much is new. On the world stage level it's not a large aquarium. Unfortunately they took out some of the space for the Wildlife Park & Wax Museum. They try to cram as much into the space as possible. The penguin ride that was closed for 2 years is open again, the queues are getting longer again. The exhibits change with seasons a bit, so you'll need to see what is there when you arrive.

Impressive place especially the sharks and the penguins highly recommend this place for families and friends

Great fun for the whole family. Staff are friendly and helpful. Please plan your day and allow at least two hours to navigate you're way around the aquarium maze. Theirs many different attractions to see. Gift shop conveniently located at the exit point of the maze. So you'll be taking something home.

Excited to see Penguin in this Aqarium...

A nice area to wander around in with lots of to and plenty of choice for eats. Stay for dinner to get the best views. There is a park for the kids, but be careful - there are many areas with no rail at the water's edge.

Wonderful place to experience the aquatic life of Australia. Do take the boat ride to experience the star attraction being the penguins.

Excellent place, amazing tunnel with animals swimming around us

Good place with your family

Iconic… simply amazing 🤩

Marvellous except for the jam packed crowds, must take mask, do not go for 11:30/10:30, huge crowds, lots of prams, children people v v close proximity to each other, must be avoided during the weekend 10:30/11:00 spots, weekdays, early morning/ late evening better

Had heard so much good about this aquarium but left feeling unimpressed. Particular pain point aggressive exit shop you can't avoid pushing terrible overpriced toys and criminally priced photo booth with 1990s CGI pushing you a lot to buy 3 photos for $38, and telling you you can't take photos of the screen. Pretty sure they've got no right to do that after all you took photos of me and my kids and the photos are on public display. That all left a bad taste, but even disregarding that the aquarium itself pretty limited, crowded, and extortionately priced. Won't return and definitely would recommend any visitor or tourist not to attend. Can see more on most beaches, and the rave cave fake barrier reef was like a window into the future apocalypse post-bleached GBR where that's all that's left to remind kids of what the reef used to look like.

Upgraded since I was last here. Enjoyed the penguins and lovely tank set ups. Pricey but you could imagine costly to staff and run. The kids had a ball.

Nice station

Nice walk besides the harbour.

We had a great visit. Didnt realise it was so big. Lots to see and discover. Great for kids.

Good ferry stop with beautiful seaview.
