SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium
- SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium
· One of the world's largest aquariums, located near Darling Harbour and partially built underwater, has been open for nearly 30 years.
· Built alongside the harbor, it draws water directly from the port, providing marine life with an environment almost identical to their natural habitat.
· The aquarium not only showcases Australia's marine ecosystems but also collaborates with research institutions like the University of Sydney for marine ecological studies.
· The most thrilling experience is walking through the transparent tunnel, watching dugongs, moray eels, and sharks glide overhead.
· Watching sea lions play underwater creates a genuine underwater world experience with high-fidelity views of marine life up close.

I booked my Sydney Aquarium tickets online - they offer a "pick 2 out of 4" combo deal that includes Sydney Tower, the Aquarium, Zoo, and Madame Tussauds.
I chose the Aquarium and Madame Tussauds since they're right next to each other, saving travel time. I skipped Sydney Zoo since I had plans to visit Gold Coast's wildlife park later in my trip.
The Aquarium is highly recommended - absolutely worth visiting! They use impressive technology to educate visitors about marine life, and it's refreshingly free of commercial gimmicks. It's purely focused on education, allowing kids to interact with marine life for a more hands-on learning experience.
Madame Tussauds is right next door, and taking a tour through there is quite entertaining too.
