Nice place to see marine life. Underwater aquarium with sharks, Sting Ray's, groupers, seal show, jelly fish, sea horse and many more. Sadly some section are closed currently to add new attractions.
Its fun, however if you have a big family I can see it getting expensive fast
Lots of awesome things to see & do. Kids, especially, will love it. Unless they hate fish, in which case they'll probably run screaming.
Just beautiful! This lovely aquarium continues to bring joy to so many people of all ages. An incredibly fun and spectacular place for marine enthusiasts of all levels, looking forward to the new enclosures coming for penguins
A wonderful way to see these animals and learn about protecting them.
Enjoyed the displays & the seal show. The aquarium is awesome.
Friendly staff, great facilities and incredible displays.
Such a great aquarium, been to a few sea life aquariums but this one is by far the best I've seen so far. Such a wide variety of animals too. Promotes conservation of habitats which is nice too!
Great Day out with the Kids, plenty too see, very interactive, we loved it
Good range of exhibits. Seals were the highlight for us - even without a presentation they were pretty active and playful. Also liked the stingrays. Pretty much all the exhibits were interesting though and liked the info about ways we can help protect various species
Local area is serene. Nearby accommodation at Excellsior Mooloolaba is in the perfect position to have a relaxing stay, and a overlooks a beautiful aspect of the Maroochy River. So many sea creatures to enjoy in their natural habitat at the nearby SEA LIFE Aquarium
Love this place bit pricey and under development atm so don't waste your time as of yet
Sad to see the otters are gone now. Probably a good place to take the kids but I found a bit disappointing.
The annual pass is good value for money. If going for a one off visit, buy tickets online and save - even if you're outside the door.
If you understand that the running costs of an aquarium of this size and what their goal is, the cost of admission is justifiable. Not something you'll be doing multiple times per year, but the value you get justifies a trip every now and then.
The seal show was great, with a focus on biology more than doing lots of tricks (some tricks) that makes it feel much more like a proper aquarium than a tourist attraction - major props for that.
Walkways can be a bit crammed, and the layout can be difficult to walk around, and many people walking the wrong way causes a bit of congestion - but worth it for fitting as many displays in such a small footprint.
Carparks are showing their limits on a busy day, just park down the road and take a short walk along the beach to save the hassle!
It was a nice day out. But $93 for 2 adults and a 4 year old is too expensive. Buy tickets online if plan on going and save. Its a fantastic attraction for the sunshine coast , just expensive.
Great day out for family with young kids. My daughter absolutely loved it!
My kids love and enjoy the seal presentation and the octonauts zone so much
The seal show is great. A very nice aquarium, good for kids.
Previously known as Underwaterworld. Plan time there based on when talks or shows are planned. We missed all but final one for day; however lucky to watch a short training period with one of the seals.
Kids love the display that encourages them to touch and being able to walk through fish and shark display tunnel.
Sharks were amazing to look at. Loved sting rays too.
Great little aquarium, was super busy today but still thoroughly enjoyable
Good fun and learning for everyone. Friendly helpful staff...A tad overpriced.
Family trip to Sea Life today was both entertaining and educational for all of us, we highly recommend it. The seal swim experience was an amazing experience as well, I only wish it went longer
Staff were very helpful and friendly, the renovations have improved the visit there.
Great place to take the kids. Book online as it's cheaper.
Kids had a great time despite Covid limitations thank you
Sea life - brilliant, animators and staff brilliant. Hypocrisy Awful. Right next to the plastic in the ocean exhibit they re selling plastic cups and drink straws, single use sauce sachets etc. Don t even recycle their cardboard.
Management needs a kick up the starfish!
Be aware they close at 3pm. $39 for one adult. A couple of hours for adults but i would imagine longer with kids. Seal show more for kids than adults but still worth a watch. Staff seemed friendly. Air con almost too cold. Good way to spend part of the day.
Great visit with the kids on a rainy day whilst on holidays.
Had a great day out here. The displays are great and the staff were really knowledgeable and passionate about ocean conservation.
Three primary school groups and a couple of dozen young mums with prams and ululating children turned the tunnels into resonance Chambers of Hell.
My girls loved the "Marine Biologist for a Day" half day event they attended. They loved Laura, the leader, and enjoyed getting to go behind the scenes and seeing all the animals. Thank you!
Great day for the family & informative about conservation! Out little girl lived it!
I think the entrance fees is a bit pricey, especially when some of the sections are closed for renovation... Kitchen stopped serving hot food and chips around 2pm.
Otherwise that was good fun and seals show was awesome
Went there yesterday did not enjoy it at all. Was so overpriced for how tiny the place was. Not much to see and saw the whole thing in less than and hour. We back tracked where we came thinking we had missed something but no. Dont waste your money here or time. Would not recommend to anyone and would never go back.
We had a great day out at sea life. Our son (2yrs) loved looking at all the wild life and watching the seal show. There's plenty to see however parking is a bit of a hassle, especially on weekends when it's busy
Good customer service, the seal show was great. The 2 kids playgrounds weren t there when I last visited, these are great additions for families.
Some of the sealife that were there in the past weren t there - like African chichlids, turtles, otters and giant crabs. There were also no crocodiles or penguins. I know that Sea Life are investing in some new exhibits that are coming soon...including some fairy penguins. But for now, the variety of animals on display has gone backwards compared to 10years ago.
Very expensive cost over $130 for one and a half hours
MacDonalds is MacDonalds. Known entity, crap food, kids love it for the toy and the play area.
It was unbelievable the seal show was amazing service and staff we great. Lots to see
Got the Merlin annual pass. Our 2 year old is obsessed with his place. Nice little playgrounds for the little ones, friendly atmosphere and learning fun!
Great experience. Just long wait to get in during covid
Great range of sea life. Was a little dirty and parking was crazy
Well overpriced for what it is
Then they try to slug you on the way out for a photo pack
Still amazing to see all the sea animals but I wouldn t recommend
Great place for the family to visit. Chicken burger was awesome!!!
Crap parking have to get there early or no spots only takes 1 hr to walk "slowly" through whole park
Great place for the whole family. And also great to see it's wheelchair friendly as well
Amazing experience for all ages
I used to go all the time as a little girl, and now my husband and I take our daughter. We purchased annual passes so we can come as often as we like
She's 1 and is mesmerised by the animals.
She particularly loves the seals, and will actually sit patiently watching the seal show
We all have a fantastic time every time, and the staff are so lovely too.
Pretty good for the kids especially. Underwater tunnels are pretty amazing.
Kids loved it, but it was a little confusing to navigate. Overall great
A decent trip to take the kids. A large underwater tunnel and a live seal demonstration multiple times a day. Plenty of exhibits. Keep an eye out for ticket promotions during the school holidays
It was good for the kids. A bit confusing the different areas if you don't have a map. Staff seemed friendly. Get there early as there isn't alot of parking.
Always good for a few hours of entertainment for the kids.
Don t miss the seal show. Kids loves the Dory playground
Nice day for the kids. Thought there would be more to see. But what we saw was still great. The seal show was really good and the underwater tunnel is a must.
Great place to visit especially with children , haven't been here for many years the name has changed , really . enjoy my visit here , with visitors from Leyte Philippines , Port Mcquarie
I love going too sea life mooloolaba I love watching the seals and can, t wait for the penguins too come too seal life loverly people there and I just love going too sea life too see the animals as I love animals
Domesticated animals. Very well organized But I don't share the commercial part.
Only about 2hrs of stuff to do. Avoid the morning opening as it's 50min queue.
Well maintained. Friendly staff. Interesting exhibits - if limited.
We'll signed, easy to find. Good variety of exhibits. Fun seal show. Good for kids. Food selection at the cafe is quite limited, but does the job. Friendly staff.
Rip off families with deals, Sold a deal then when we arrived charged an additional 2 children at full price. The site is getting old and needs renovation. Staff unwilling to help.
Loved all of the animals and how family friendly it was. The only thing was the message about preventing pollution in the sea was not exactly supported by selling water in bottles. I looked around the seal show and saw probably 40 plastic bottles bought from the cafe. Maybe having drinking water or fountains where people filled their drink bottles and publicizing this so people don't buy the bottled water would back up the ethos of the aquarium more.
