Very interesting

This is a wonderful place to visit with its moving walkway allowing you to see the fish as if you were under water. There’s lots of information displayed, swimming with the sharks, presentations etc. There’s a cafe and souvenir shop too.

Very unpleasant experience

My wife & I have been very lucky to visit some amazing aquariums and unfortunately this one falls very short. Our trip seemed to coincide with multiple school excursion groups which made navigating the aquarium quite difficult. It would have been nice for them to...More

Worth the visit

Came across from Hilary’s boat harbour whilst shopping for a quick look and ended up staying for a while. Worth stopping in at.

Well worth the visit

We paid for the glass bottom boat, was well worth the $10 each, the staff member who took us around really loved her job and was very informative, something we really enjoyed and highly recommend, was a great place to visit.

My friend has some breathing problems and cannot walk far at the moment without becoming breathless. Is there a wheelchair we could borrow please?

I did see a few patrons on wheelchair though I'm not sure if it's loan from AQWA. But like everyone else said, ask them ... the staff are friendly and helpful.
