I've been to a few of these aquariums in other countries . However, I particularly enjoy the places of interest such as this one in Melbourne due to the friendly staff making visitors feeling welcome.

1st time look so closed at the penguins n love the sharks ???? and stingrays swims above ,off course, in future won’t not visiting any aquarium again, these sea life should be in their real homes!

Matt Vincent

Such a great day. Our 1year old LOVES the big event room, free to crawl and giggle. The staff were so friendly too. All round a great experience at a fair price .

Emily S

This place actually suprised me! Very enjoyable - spent the best part of our day here. If possible, definitely worth visiting on a rainy weekday where the crowds are minimal.

Jeremy Wee

Buy your entry tickets online and print it out before coming its cheaper that way. Don't forget to get a rebate on your parking the car is parked at 474 Flinders St .

Shannon Ryan

Wonderful place to visit and great to take children. Had a great day! The King Penguins were fantastic..

Alexander Yap

Forget Philip Island , this is the best place to see lots of big penguins in Victoria.

Amar PR

Awesome place!! But don't buy the book with your pics printed on!! Not that worthy

Great Penguin exhibit . If you travel on the SkyBus , pick up their tourist brochure at the ticket booth which includes a voucher for 20% discount on Melbourne Aquarium tickets!

Great aquarium , take the map as multi-levels can be a bit confusing

Walking distance from Crown Casino . Favourite enclosure is the penguin one.

Robert McDougall

Had a work function in the croc room. Nice venue.

Octonauts are in for the school holiday! Entrance is a bit pricey but forgivable. Photo souvenir's way overpriced. Staff are not as accomodating. Discounted parking @ 474 flinders St . Dont park at L6.

Super Melbourne attraction , although, very expensive in comparison to Aquariums around the world. Our kids love it!

Sam Usher

Remember never leave the toilet trip till you are busting. You are bound by murphy's law & will inevitably fond yourself amongst a school group!

Nico Corazza

Greats pool with fish and big sharks .
