We had read the reviews many of which were not so good. Despite this, we headed off there and were very pleased we did. It's $85 for the family but we were there for 3 hours and thought it was terrific. Enthusiastic staff, great exhibits (especially the penguins) and the kids (and adults) were thoroughly entertained. I'd recommend this as... more

Great attraction, the kids loved it! Entry was expensive. more

A friend from overseas was in town, and since she was staying at a hotel nearby we decided to see the aquarium. The first stop was the penguin enclosure, and these were pretty cool. After that, things went downhill. The layout of the place is confusing, and overall it's quite small. There's barely enough in the place to fill 1.5... more

We have just returned from a visit to the aquarium. At $31.50 per adult we were not impressed. The variety of fish etc is great but for the price we were disappointed. The main feature is the oceanarium at the end where you can see the sharks and sting rays swimming above you. Would not recommend to anyone due to... more

OK, I had my doubts. I'd heard that if you'd visited the Singapore or Kuala Lumpur Aquariums, don't bother to visit the Melbourne Aquarium. The Melbourne Aquarium surprised me. I enjoyed myself and so did the kids. Granted it doesn't have the travelator both KL and Singapore have, but that was ok. The penguin exhibit was a hit with the... more

Took our children their because it was raining and we couldn't go to the zoo. It was so not worth the $83 it costed for the family. Lots of fish in a tank. The Penguins were cute but still not worth the price of the entry. should of went to the zoo in the rain. more

My husband and I visited the Melbourne Aquarium in November 2007. It was an okay experience. In my opinion, when it comes to aquariums, if you've seen one, you've seen them all, so I wasn't overly impressed, personally. Don't get me wrong, I think if you have kids or you've never been to an aquarium before, then this is a... more

Although I really enjoyed the Melbourne Aquarium, and it is really well set up. There just isn't enough to do and look at. It is a very small Aquarium that could easily be done in less then an hour, when I expected to at least spend a few hours there. Don't get me wrong, it is well worth a look,... more

The layout of the aquarium is very poor and it seems like you are always criss crossing attractions. The fish are excellant however the facilities and the feel of the entire area are in much need of a face lift. Definately worth the extra $13 to do the boat tour with the sharks. more
