- 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.

One of the reasons we chose Sydney Aquarium was to see dugongs up close. These creatures, also known as "mermaids," are quite ugly-looking to be honest. At the aquarium, you can take a free boat ride into the penguin habitat area to get a close look at Australia's unique Fairy Penguins.
