On a rainy day in Melbourne this was a good pastime to see all the amazing sea creatures. It is nicely laid out for good viewing of all the tanks and a nice variety of different species.

The place is very small and you can view the entire place in about 2 hours. I didn't feel that it was worth the entry price

We visited Melbourne Aquarium and were disappointed to find that a very large portion of the facility is undergoing renovation.

The butterfly was my favourite -... More

Having been to several aquariums around the world, Melbourne's doesn't really hold up. Small and overpriced I thought. I guess if it's the only aquarium you've been to you wouldn't realise how unimpressive it is.
