A great experience for all ages - I had a morning spare before a flight and thought I would visit the aquarium. I really should have allowed many more hours At every turn is another staff member giving informative, engaging talks on all aspect of the place, I could have listened to them all day!

Great for the Family - This tour was really good for the kids. They enjoyed every bit of it. We loved the transition from fresh water exhibition to salt water. On a side note, pre book your tickets, it saves you from standing in queue for admissions.

It is an interesting... - It is an interesting place to visit after our snorkelling experience as we could see more marine creatures just behind the glass partition, and not get wet or have motion sickness. 😉 There are many benches for tired customers to rest before continuing. There was also someone presenting interesting facts regarding sharks and rays. We had 10% discounts from our holiday apartments. There are also discounted rates for pensioners and concession. We spent 3 hours here.

Not to be missed - Well worth visiting. The guides were fun, entertaining and the focus was on education. The way the aquarium is designed allows an incredible up close view of the coral and the many aquatic creatures.

A must do for all ages! - Fabulous. A really well set out and impressive aquarium. Larger than I expected and such an impressive array of creatures. Loved the tunnel with rays gliding above your head. Not expensive and very worth it.

If it’s hot this is the place to go! - Great little stop to prepare us for diving the reef. Overall, the tour was good. I expected it to be great being so close to the GBR, but it was similar to what we have back home. It was a great stop on a very hot day. Make sure to be very mindful of the parking. We got a parking ticket in an area we thought was free for visitors.
