Sydney Aquarium

This was one of my activities from last weeks ozintro. Im not sure how much it costs to get in as it was included in the cost. However when we went there was no queue and we walked straight in. The way we got there was to get a ferry from circular quay to darling harbour. You arrive right outside the aquarium, and you get to go under the bridge and get a view of the opera house from the ferry. The aquarium has so many fish of all sizes. You walk through the smaller tanks, past the alligator, who I have to say didnt look too happy with his tiny enclosure under all the lights and people taking photos of him. The best part are the ...  Read the complete review

Sydney aquarium situated in Darling harbor is a must see and do. I took my then 2 year old as an excuse and we both loved it (in different ways)! It was totally awe inspiring and worth every penny. We spent four hours in there and could have spent longer. The variety of tanks, walkways, tunnels etc all added to its charm. I especially loved being able to see fish completely surround me; underneath me on top and left and right. It would be my number one recommendation while in Sydney. If you buy a three in one pass you can get a discounted rate to the aquarium, the sky-tower and the wildlife world (next door). The areas included a shark area which was quiet scary ...  Read the complete review

Sydney Aquarium is located on the picturesque edge of Darling Harbour. This is the other side of the headland from the more famous Sydney Harbour but it is equally pretty and is full of very nice bars, restaurants and other attractions. The aquarium itself is a large building which overhangs the side of the quay and utilises its position so close to the water, featuring many attractions for young and old alike. We spent a very pleasurable few hours there in May 2008 whilst visiting the city on a short break and I found it both entertaining and very informative as so many of their exhibitions are native to the surrounding water. Prices could be ...  Read the complete review

Located on the picturesque Darling Harbour, Sydney Aquarium is a great day out as well as offering an educational insight to the underwater world. The aquarium is host to a number of species and exhibitions that will delight the young and the old. There's a pool where seals swim, there's a penguin enclosure and in the smaller exhibitions there's a species of shark that you're allowed to stroke. It displays more than 650 species of fish and underwater inhabitants. The aquarium is also used for reasearch by the University of Sydney and the University of New South Wales amongst others. The site itself is easy to walk round, there's a gift ...  Read the complete review

Sydney Aquarium is located in Darling Harbour in the centre of Sydney. It's easy to get to - we visited on a day when we had purchased a day ferry ticket, but it's also accessible by foot or by bus. The Aquarium really is an amazing place to visit and was certainly one of our Sydney highlights. The best thing about it, compared to other aquariums I have visited around the world, is that everything in it is native to Australia. Australia really does have so much diversity in its sea and river life that it can fill an entire aquarium. My husband and I visited towards the end of a fantastic trip around Australia, and it was a wonderful reminder of all ...  Read the complete review
