This aquarium is well worth a visit if you're in Sydney. It's right on Darling Harbour so you can combine it with a walk around the area, some shopping or hopping off at the end of one of the Matilda hop-on hop-off cruises, which end literally next to the aquarium. The Aquarium itself is nicely presented and has loads of... more

If I recall correctly it was $30 per person and we were able to walk through in about 90 minutes. If you were really into fish, you could probably spend a half day here. Its a little pricey, but the aquatic life they have is fantastic. Even if you've been snorkeling at the reef, the reef tanks they have are... more

This is not a review of the actual place, which I'm sure is fantastic, it's just a warning about the online booking system and the customer service. I was charged twice when I booked tickets online. This happened nearly month ago and I am still trying to get a refund for the amount that they overcharged me. I am unable... more

Great way to spend two hours and easily more! Lots to see. Well worth the visit. This aquarium must come close to having nearly all of Australias marine life within it. Currently its $28.50 for an adult. Seems pricey, but the best aqaurium I have been to so far. Can get quite a crowd there, best to try through the... more

The Sydney aquarium was fun. We saw platypus, fairy penguins and the Great Reef exhibit. The seal & shark exhibits are great with underwater tunnels that get you right next to and under very large sharks, rays and even a Shark-ray (that was different and beautiful). My pictures were a little too big to attach. It's a little pricey, but... more

Being an enthusiast of Marine Creatures and life under the sea, I find my visits to Sydney Aquarium very educational as well as very exciting and fun. They have wonderful exhibits such as Fairy Penguins, Crocodiles, Platypus', many fish species and many more. My personal two favourite exibits to see are the Sharks and Rays and of course the Seals.... more

This has to be the best aquarium we have ever visited! We saw just about every type of sea life there is to see.....we even found Nemo! My 13 year old son adored this trip, there is just so much in there - well worth the money! more

we have visited the Sunshine Coast aquarium several times (we live in QLD ) and I have also seen the one in Auckland....the Sydney Aquarium is by far the best. we all had a great visit especially our two year old. I wouldn't say its cheap but it is well worth visiting. more
