Good place to visit, kids loved it. I thought it would be alot bigger than it was but still enjoyed it. Feeding and touching the turtles was a big highlight, a fantastic experience I will always remember. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed on the day we went so we didn't get to try the food there, the menu looked quite... More

My whole family had a fantastic time learning all about the marine life at the Reefworld Aquarium in Hervey Bay. We were there from when they opened in the morning right through until closing time in the arvo. We loved being able to pat and feed the turtles and then after lunch we also fed the sharks. It was so... More

Sad to say but this place really needs some serious money invested in it. The aquarium is getting a little old and sad. More

10 & 12yr old boys loved entering the waters of the aquarium with fish the size of themselves! More

Lovely small aquarium with great range of marine life and super sweet staff that know their stuff and quite clearly love their jobs. Their focus on visitor interaction makes this place really worth going for despite it's small size and it not having the means of some larger sea life centres. More

Maybe if they had more tourist information and more advertising for it, they might have more visitors. I only realized it was there because I drove past on my way to our accommodation. My son had fun at the touch pool and the turtles. More

The staff here are great, friendly, knowledgeable people. Good value for money, the staff encouraged us and our young kids to touch and feed their animals, turtles, sharks and fish, unlike other bigger attractions who keep their animals behind glass. This is a must see attraction. Ignore the tired appearance of the venue, the experience well and truly makes up... More
