Melbourne Aquarium
Imagine a place so large it houses over 10 000 species of marine life found in the Southern Ocean! Imagine a display which covers four levels and gives visitors the chance to walk amongst some of the most unusual, beautiful and even dangerous sea creatures in the world!
Visit the Melbourne Aquarium in Melbourne Australia and you will find all this and more, just minutes from the city and you don't even have to get wet; unless you want to.
The Melbourne Aquarium in Victoria is Australia's newest Aquarium and it has the enviable reputation of being the country's most state of the art Aquarium. Set over four levels it is designed to bring visitors close to an amazingly diverse range of sea creatures.
You can see the animals in environments which simulate their natural habitat. Children will love finding crabs, eels and turtles in the shallow pools, which replicate the billabongs of Australia.
Travel through the Aquarium and you will find transparent tunnels housing sharks, stingrays, fish and sea turtles, which make their homes in the Great Barrier Reef of Australia and the Southern Ocean.
If you want to get a little closer, jump into the deep end for a scuba dive with the sharks or, if you prefer to stay dry, enjoy a guided tour with a marine specialist who can answer your questions about the creatures you see around you.
You will also enjoy the live feeding presentations and don't miss a ride on the simulated underwater rollercoaster.
