    This is one of my favourite places in Sydney. I like that there are a few spots to stop and sit down with a view of the tank and lovely music. The walkway where you are walking over the tank is cool too. The lady looking after the touch tank was extremely friendly, informative and made it alot of fun!

    The best aquarium I have been to. The underwater tunnels with the sharks swimming over your head and the great big reef exhibit are the best bits. My daughter loved it. Good value too with the annual pass

    I was a bit disappointed, lucky I had a free pass, no comparison to Sea Worlds aquarium, I would give it a miss next time. the place could do with a revamp, it is getting very old looking..

    Incredible. You can see all sorts of aquatic animals up and around you as you walk through the tunnel. But expensive. Worth a visit just to see the walk through aquarium but I think they could provide a bit more for the $ you pay.

    The wow factor of this place never seems to fade. It is amazing having huge sharks, green sea turtles, rays, and more recently dugongs swimming over your head. All the species appear really healthy & well cared for & the water is always clean and full of other amazing sea life. The corals & tropical fish are spectacular, as are the enormous crabs, lobsters & exquisitely beautiful sea horses & jelly fish.
    The aquarium can get packed during the school holidays, but there are lovely areas where you can stop & relax while watching fish swim by. A really nice outing!

    The highlight of the Sydney aquarium was being able to walk through a glass tunnel and to see the sharks and stingrays swim over and all around you. There are also seals that are excellent to get a few photos in front of and keep the kids entertained, as they are more animated than most fish are.

    Amazing. Kids love it and grown ups too. Avoid schoolies. The queue is a nightmare.

    I love this place, I actually became a yearly member! Lots and lots of animals to look at, I love them all. They even have this Shark enclosure which is really cool, you know where the shark swims over your head and there's just fish everywhere. Sadly never get to see a fish eat another one! Heaps of other stuff theer too, like Seahorse, a croc and seals. But my fav are the tropical fish, could stare at them all day. Don't really deal with the staff except at the ticket window, sadly they are slow and very disinterested and bored. But get past them and welcome to a pure wonderland.
