My grandaughter really loved the Aquaduck experience.
The staff were really fun and welcoming.
My only regret is I accidently booked for 2 adults and 1 child.
I telephoned straight away and they could ot refund the money as it was through a third partner.

Had a nice time, my friend was visiting from Taiwan and really enjoyed Sea Life. I've been to all of their venues in Australia and New Zealand and this one is definitely the smallest but I like the work they have done to refresh the experience but it only takes about an hour to get though. Worth a visit at least once.

The day out was great. My daughter who turned 6 on the day. Birthday present. I was only disappointed in seeing my bank statement. As I didn't know that headout is not Australian, and got charged international fees. This needs to be disclosed better

I had my 4 year old grandson staying and with rainy weather this was an ideal place to go. We stayed 3 hours he was in charge with the map and was enthralled by all the exhibitions and the seal show. He went home that night to his family full of things to tell them. Booking last minute on line was easy and saved us considerably on the entrance price.

The penguins were very cute and the seal show was great! And of course the iconic ocean tunnel was the show stealer.

My grandaughter really loved the Aquaduck experience.
The staff were really fun and welcoming.
My only regret is I accidently booked for 2 adults and 1 child.

June 10, hardly anyone in the park, max 5-minute wait for each attraction: excellent day! The restaurant behind Jungle Rush, with all the fake animated animals, was delicious, and the service very good.

We chose to go just before sunset. This allowed us to see the stunning views from Skypoint both at day and night. We also chose to stay for dinner and enjoyed the delicious food from the restaurant there.
