Great family outing - Fantastic morning with my kids. Would recommend a weekday, during school term. We could take it easy looking at everything, and the touch pool was free. Had a great time in the tunnel, taking it all in. Plenty of intrigue for the little ones.

Very much worth the money just to see the smiles on my baby's faces - One of the best days of my children's lives. Had a great laugh when an older child face-dove into the touch pond. He did very well to get himself back out so quickly. The guide said 'there's always one!' hahaha. No turtles in the rescue pool which was great to see. I loved the new coral growth rooms. It was absolutely fascinating to see all the little grafts growing and thriving. They are absolutely beautiful!

Always worth the visit. - Always a pleasure to visit the aquarium to get an idea of the underwater life in Australia, Perth and the surroundings. Very kids friendly but also educative for adults! Been there several times. Well worth the visit.

A very nice aquarium - The Aquarium of Western Australia (AQWA) is located in Hillarys at the end of Southside Dr and its most fascinating part is the large shark tank which can be visited entering a 100m long circular tunnel. This impressive tank is located in the lower part of the aquarium, which can also be reached using a lift, while inside the tunnel you can proceed by walking or letting yourself be carried by a very slow moving conveyor belt. Big sand tiger sharks, smaller reef sharks and huge rays are the most impressive animals of the tank together with turtles and other fish from the WA coast. Certainly smaller, but very interesting, are also the other sectors of the aquarium were rare and exotic small fish can be observed. For children there is a Touch Pool where the unique experience of touching a starfish or a tiny Port Jackson shark can be done in absolute safety. In the Coral Reef sector there is a large area where, in front of a reef populated by colorful fish, there is a way to sit and relax for a few minutes. In addition to the bar area, where you can stop and use the toilet, beyond the Coral Reef sector there is a small play area for children with a large tank in which you can see small sharks and rays. Visiting this aquarium is a valid opportunity for adults and a great experience for kids.

Well presented aquarium - Never been to an aquarium before. Was really blown away by the glass tunnel & seeing giant rays , turtles & nursing sharks up close . Got some amazing video . Went during the week to avoid crowds & kept going around on the moving circular route to capture more & more pics of these giant creatures ! The displays on the other floors are also worth seeing too . All the fish found around various waters of WA are fully explained in wonderful display tanks full of colourful coral . There is also a rescue turtle talk given at certain times with a brief feeding session . Worth the entrance fee for sure .

Continues to impress - Not the first visit but always a impressive show underwater and to see the coast of WA in a different light. It’s the only way I get to see fish anyway. Best to allow some time as there is a lot to take in
