  Really enjoyed my self here. I found the jellyfish almost hypnotising. I didn't get a good look at the octopus they have, but I can't expect that since its an actual animal and isn't on my schedule. All in all I was really impressed, very cool. I love how the fake bathosphere really added a lot to the experiences.

  This place is an awesome stop for vacationers. It's not very big but it has lots of different things to see. The microscopes that let you get a closer look at the textures of star fish, anemone and the like is a pretty neat way to be interactive. There are cool little info classes throughout as well. The touch are was awesome. Lots of info for how small the place is. The staff are all extremely nice and very informative. Great experience and I highly recommend going.

  Good place to spend a couple of hours with the kids in the sleepy town of Sydney. We liked the exhibits, our son loved the contact pool but the videos, games, activities, etc lacked content, some toys were super old and run down and the guides were not all that enthusiastic about the talks. We feel that they should review training for volunteers and customers facing staff, perhaps refresh their videos and other teaching materials and give an opportunity to younger, more energetic people to do the kids' activities

  Loved our visit! Our six month old was fascinated by all the sea life. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Definitely worth the annual family membership.
