  • Together with Madame Tussards, Wild Life Sydney this comes under the Merlin barrier. It was very disappointing that no tourist brochures or postcards on any of them. They are all close to each other.....  more

  • Got the tickets with Wildlife zoo admission all together. Have to change the date twice due to personal health issue. very friendly staff and procedure is a breeze! Not the biggest aquarium that I've been so far but their variety of sea creatures are awesome! my little kid love it and my family have a great time. highly recommend!
  • While the other reviews were complaining about the number of children, remember this is an attraction for families. We (no children) had an amazing time walking through the aquarium! The way it is set up, made it very easy to navigate walking through the aquarium. We got there at 10, when it opened and was very busy, but we were still able to see everything and enjoyed our time. Highly recommend.
  • Very cool attraction for small nd big kids at heart. Lots of great exhibits and animals. Amazing how much was on offer to see. Loved the glass tunnels to walk through and the penguin boat ride was a highlight too. And we loved getting our hands wet in the touch pool. Would definitely recommend a visit if you are around Darling Harbor.
  • Went to the Sydney Aquarium on a Sunday, which made it be really packed, especially with many families and children! If you would like it to be more quiet, I’d recommend a working day rather than the weekend. Buying tickets online is the best option as there is less of a queue when entering! Also they have student discounts and different combos that make the tickets less expensive. As for the aquarium itself, I’m usually not a fan, but this one was packed with information and additional details with regards to the different animal species as well as very nicely organized!
  • Great experience and lovely staff, definitely a good day out for all ages ✨️ Tunnels with the sting rays & sharks were definitely the highlight 👌 Definitely was a little busy; but went during school holidays so it made sense! Foot traffic flowed quite well if you avoided the bigger crowds and were patient for a few minutes tops
