Melbourne Aquarium

Melbourne

The Melbourne Aquarium allows you to immerse yourself in the world of Australia's colorful marine population without getting wet. Most of the creatures in the aquarium come from the southern Indian Ocean, the Bass Strait, and the Tasman Sea, as well as animals from rock pools and mangrove habitats.

In a fiberglass tunnel, you can come face-to-face with sharks, stingrays, octopuses, and a variety of colorful fish. The Antarctic exhibit features Gentoo and King Penguins. There is also a colorful coral atoll with numerous tropical animals. To see all the main attractions and most of the smaller aquariums, plan at least two hours for your visit.

The Aquarium is located just a short walk from the Southern Cross Railway Station or, if approaching from Southbank, just across the bridge from the Crown Casino.
