UnderWater World - Mooloolaba Review

Awesome day out for the family, heaps to do and see for kids.

It's absolutely amazing. I would definitely recommend going here with friends. The entry fee is very affordable! And throughout my experience there I have enjoyed every second.

Good but cannot help to feel a bit uncomfortable.

Staff is really kind & encourage ways to be more conscious about environment by helping endangered turtles then put them back in the sea or explain how to act to protect environment for example.

However, a lot of sea life are just stuck in ridiculously small spaces with childs screaming or hitting on the aquarium glass. Also no flash picture regulation whatsoever. No needs to be a scientists to feel that there are not comfortable spaces for them.

Regarding the seal shows. I did not know that it was still existsing. They are doing impressive tricks, but again we had feeling that trainings to achieve them are not the things they wanted to do just to have food and for us to be amazed. If a staff could set our mind about their life conditions, would be awesome.

Very very interesting place, it favors the amazement of children by seeing; sharks, manta rays, crocodiles and many other types of fish.

My daughter just loved this place. We will be going back for sure.

Perfect activity for a rainy day. Seal show was excellent. Behind the scenes tour was definitely worth it.

Staff were awesome, and a really wonderfully run establishment. Super educational, and even as a 22yr old I remembered how great Sea Life was as a kid. A wonderful day out for the family

Small place but good for kids and it s worth for single visit.

didn't accept my free monopoly ticket, I had everything, nothing was expired

I loved it here. The displays and aquariums are fantastic.
I thought the photos they take of you on entry, and then offer for purchase at the end was a bit wasteful. Expensive to purchase, but they've already printed them, so if you don't purchase they probably go in the bin.

It was packed but we had a great time. The seal show is the highlight of the day. The kids loved it!

This place is amazing!!!! So worth the while! Kids absolutely loved it, and so did we!! Definitely do it!!

I meant to give this review at the time, just trying to catch up all my reviews.
SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast is good, but it needs to be updated sometime. We took our kids there thinking we would show them their latest shows, and they were the exactly same show as we had seem 5 years earlier.... come on guys!!! You can get better than that

Great place for the kids to learn about all types of marine animals

Great place to go on a rainy day, even for adults without kids.

Underwhelming. Came 10 years ago and there were otters, crabs, crayfish performing seals and a giant turtle - all gone now. The jellyfish and seahorse displays were quite good but not a patch on the Aquariums I ve visited in Japan and New Caledonia. The water looked dirty and the general appearance was shabby and a bit dirty. My Japanese Homestay student (16) stepped on chewing gum - not impressed. Will not be back and cannot recommend. Overpriced, underwhelming -a definite disappointment.

Came for my sons 2nd birthday not nearly as much as i remember there been as a kid but we still had a great time none the less.

Great place for little kids. Teens are going to be beyond this.

Very informative for children though it will be quite boring for adult

Lovely enough place to visit. Staff are awesome and a credit to their employer

Very relaxed. Peaceful but fun and exciting for my little girl. Lots of variety. Interesting talks. Good social distancing in practice.
Layout was a bit confusing and we missed a couple of things and went round something twice. It might be a was distracted by the toddler
If I lived there I would likely get an annual pass.
I got an online Special and got a lot out of its so four me good value.
We didn't visit the giftshop,

Pluses and minuses. It was a frustrating visit, not entirely their fault.

Good point - they bent over backwards to help us reorganise our booking as some of us booked separately and the timing was off, thank you!

Bad points- due to restrictions we missed the show, as the room was at capacity. Perhaps extra shows, we weren't going to wait another 2 hours.

Distancing was non existent. Its hard in close spaces, but perhaps more could be done.

The photo with the seal took a long time. We waited outside for an hour for the photos to be printed that we'd paid for. When bought out they offered us 2 more photos that that they had already printed for another $10 each. Seems wasteful in this day and age. Get rid the obvious up sell and either charge more, if that's what you have to do.

We had fond memories from out last visit 2 years ago, it didn't feel the same this time.

Excellent great service, educational and entertainment for all a great day out

The older female receptionist wouldn't accept our online purchased tickets via our smart phone, has to be printed at home prior to arrival although printers were seen available and could have been easily emailed and printed at reception. We Travelled all the way from the Gold Coast to be told this.
Not happy with the way we were addressed as young parents and the customer service we received. Very unsatisfied hence the 1 star review.
We will be following up a refund in full with a formal complaint.
Our daughter is very disappointed as are we. It's also her birthday today. Cheers again.

Went there just for the octonauts themed area as my son loves it a lot. Otherwise would prefer the SeaWorld in gold coast (if you are some one in between these two @brisbane). Lots of parking but can get hard to find a spot at peak hours/weekends.

Great experience, both kids and adults loved it. And great coffee

I spent an hour trying to find a car park then gave up and left. It s the 2nd time it s happened. Very frustrating.

Such a fantastic family place! We took my 2 year-old, and encountered many interactive experiences that he loved. The variety of animals and quality of displays was impressive.

Hade a great time here very family friendly and is great for young kids would highly recommend the seal show very good

Nice to watch the animals, friendly staff. Lots to see. Easy to follow layout. Great day with family.

While the exhibits are great .children running around unsupervised, screaming and yelling along with strollers and pushchairs being for ever in the road and blocking access I suppose it was okay.I mentioned this to staff and just seemed to shrug it off.our visit was somewhat shortened dud to this

Nice little family attraction on the Sunshine Coast.

Various fish in various tanks. Kids thoroughly enjoyed. Not much else around to make a weekend of it. I may be prejudiced by the mind numbing 2.5 hour drive to the sunny coast.

Good ,could do with more comprehensive info about fish species in the tanks.

Great time. Nice little aquarium with lots to offer little kids. A bit over priced with regards to the size of the place and time spent in there. To experience once (not sure it is worth the annual pass).

Very expensive. Was enjoyable to take kids however not as i remember. Seal show was good. As like most attraction parks they are allways looking to get more money from you with photos etc.

Loved it loved it. Absolutely awesome for all ages. Highly recommended. We loved going to see the sick turtles. Staff are happy and very helpful. 10 out of 10

Nice day out with the family. Although it was a bit warm in areas, there was plenty to keep my 11 month old and 5 year old entertained, as well as myself and hubby.
The shark and ray tunnel was amazing!! That was our favourite. Also the seal show was fun and informative.
Getting tickets online will save a few dollars

Used to be great, would go once every few months, now its half the size and ask for the same entry fee. Half the enclosures where closed for repairs/upgrades and still charged the same without advertising its under maintenance. Turned very poor better off with a trip to goldy.

Would be a great place to take kids as there s a lot of interactive experiences. A bit less interesting for adults and given the price there are better things to do on the coast. Seal show is cool though.

My children loved this family day out. So much to see and do. Very disability suitable with large changing station and staff willing to help and support us. And totally children friendly.

Wonderful day out with my family with lots of interesting exhibits

Great fun for the whole family. Educational entertainment.

My kids (2 & 4) had a blast. it was actually much better than expected. A big focus on conservation and protection. Parking is a bit of an issue but will be back there soon.

It's not a full day experience. The aquarium is nice but after a couple of hours you have seen everything. For $35 entrance fee per adult I found it expensive.

Amazing for the family, especially for the little ones! Great education about all marine life as well.

Kids loved it, some very interesting fish on display that I haven't seen in other aquariums

Good way to spend a rainy day with kids on the Sunshine Coast

Kids loved it. Not cheap but great experience every few years

The rays were amazing, seal show was very funny. Kids loved the play area and octonauts. Cant wait to go back

Great exhibits, lovely layout, kids had a great time. Particularly liked the addition of the indoor playground for a bit of respite.

Great day out, seal show was fun, really crowded on school holidays thou

Amazing place
Great seal show.

Great exibits for kids who love Octonauts, Nemo and Dory.

wondergul attraction for the family but wouldn't be able to afford to visit often

Enjoyed the aquarium but parked for longer than 3 hours and got a $66 parking ticket!

Decent experience and most of the staff were friendly but social distancing was basically non existent! I understand when you to go a public attraction it will be busy but there were large crowds of people in the shark tunnel, lots of random families standing around blocking exits/entrances, lots of people coming close to your face to look past you at a fish, no monitoring in place! From start to finish, excluding the gift shop, we probably saw 2 staff members in the whole place and none were intervening or reminding visitors of the restrictions. Clearly covid is non existent in the sunny coast

a great place to take young kids and is a nice relaxing day great service and a great seal show was put on that gets the crowd involved

Old and very tired, would never go again, needs a good clean up.

Cute little aquarium. Really friendly staff, fun seal show and a great tunnel to walk through to get really interesting views of the sea life.

Nice designed aquarium with mainly indigenous species. The Oceantunnel was very nice but otherwise we had already visited much better aquariums in Australia. We found the aquariums much too small for too many animals. The area is with its two large playgrounds rather recommended for children and the animal shows we do not like anyway. In the restaurant it was impossible to warm and there was only simple fast food.

Really interesting place. Usual stuff for a sea aquarium but plenty of it and v. hands - on for kids. Parking in school holds its a nightmare.

So cool. We took 30+ kindergarten children. The day was well planned by the tour staff they were great with the children. We were a little late so it felt a little rushed at the beginning. Would love to go back.

Great for kids. Definitely would recommend it if your visiting
