SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium: Admission

Australia is noted for its extraordinary marine life, from the vibrant reefs of the Great Barrier Reef to the great diversity of sharks, mammals and seabirds. Discover this natural wealth up close with a visit to Sydney's SEA LIFE Aquarium, where you can tour 14 themed zones dedicated to species from Australia and around the world. Immerse yourself in the Great Barrier Reef exhibit, which recreates the life of the reef throughout a full day and night cycle. Learn about the conservation challenges facing this ecosystem and the actions that help protect it. Walk along bioluminescent beaches, explore jellyfish gardens and observe coral spawning, as well as sea turtles, sawfish, reef sharks and more than 500 marine species. The aquarium features must-see exhibits such as Discovery Rockpool, where you can touch starfish and sea urchins; South Coast Shipwreck, focusing on Antarctic Ocean species; Sydney Harbour, with seahorses and tropical fish; and Jurassic Seas, showcasing ancient marine fossils such as lungfish and mudskippers. On Dugong Island, you can get up close and personal with these rare mammals, the stars of the aquarium's research programs. Walk the Shark Walk through a 100-meter ocean tunnel and finish the visit with the Penguin Expedition, which offers a close encounter with king and gentoo penguins in an icy environment with light and weather effects.
