Some great more recent upgrades have made it more interesting and a more fun place to visit. Gets crowded on holidays and weekends but Australia Day, though full, was not manic. Very knowledgeable speakers for the animal/sea life talks. Dugong speaker (today 2:30) was a real winner in my opinion!
The aquarium was great, the kids loved it. The free penguin boat ride was worth the 10 minute wait.Cafe had a good choice of food and ice-cream and you can also sit to eat your own packed lunch. The only downside was that it was a really hot day and the aquarium was uncomfortably hot inside which made us rush through some parts to find a cooler spot.
I have to say that I stopped coming after my experience from a couple of years ago but we decided to go again as we had friend's visiting. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. The aquarium is quite run down and the crowding inside is not only uncomfortable but I was actually worried for me family's personal safety due to the excessive number of people and prams in the walkways. Exhibits were okay but many seemed too cramped and glass was in need of a good cleaning. For a world class city, I would expect better.
It's a good place to go for half a day. Nice variety of animals and exhibitions to enjoy and learn from. The staff are knowledgeable and approachable. It's a bit expensive at the gate so make sure you buy group tickets if you're going with your family
Don't go! It's very small, hot inside, nothing to see, crowded endless dark corridors, it's not worth the money!Thanks for your response, really appreciate it! I was comparing Sydney aquarium to Shanghai aquarium which I visited month ago before travelling to Sydney. Shanghai aquarium ticket is much much cheaper, but there are so much to see! Impressive design, amazing entertainments for visitors, mind blowing light effects and more, not to mention hundreds different sea species can be seen there. I spent there five hours and it wasn't enough! Sydney aquarium needs a lot of improvement. That money they charge visitors could definitely make it possible.
