- 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.

My personal favorites are the two transparent tunnels and taking the boat ride to see the little penguins. They also have an incredibly cute dugong, which is surprisingly huge in real life! This is actually the creature that inspired the mermaid legends.

TIP: Both the aquarium and zoo exits lead to souvenir shops. You can get a 20% discount coupon on Alipay - I only discovered this after my visit. If you're planning to buy souvenirs, make sure to claim the coupon beforehand.
