Skip the Line: Sydney Aquarium Entrance Ticket

Sydney, Australia

Visit Sydney Aquarium - Australia's No. 1 attraction! Nowhere else in the world will you find a larger collection of Australian aquatic life - over 11,500 animals call Sydney Aquarium their home. There is so much to discover about the underwater world - movement, color, beauty and intrigue.

Visit the newest exhibit at the Sydney Aquarium, the Mermaid Lagoon, home to the mystical dugongs. Sydney Aquarium is the only place in Australia where you can see these beautiful mammals up close. You'll find the Mermaid Lagoon is both entertaining and educational.

Sydney Aquarium has the world's largest Great Barrier Reef exhibit, highlighting the enormous variety of life in this habitat. Here you'll see clown fish dart amongst the waving tentacles of an anemone while vibrantly colored tangs and angelfish zip around the tank. Sleek tropical sharks and giant shark rays seem to move in time with the music and an enormous, bright blue, comical looking humpheaded wrasse may stop to check out aquarium visitors with his ever watchful eye.

Join one of the informative talks to learn more about the Dugongs or the Great Barrier Reef and in the afternoon watch the penguin colony lunch on tasty morsels. Due to the needs of the animals, all live feeding times are subject to change or cancellation, without prior notice.

One of the best Aquariums in the world - a 'must see'

Review by: mesko	January 2012
A little disappointed with the aquarium, many viewing windows were very dirty and the animals difficult to see as a result. The staff however were excellent.

Review by: shan-rock	November 2011
The aquarium is wonderful, great staff asnd the shark feed is a must. Highly recommend...

This aquarium isn't as large or diverse as the National Aquarium in Baltimore MD (U.S). but makes up its lack of size with lengthy tunnels that wind through its three largest tanks, allowing sharks, Dugongs and other exotic fish to swim around the visitors. The only drawback is that it is less expensive to buy tickets for the Sydney Aquarium in Sydney using widely available 20% off coupons than it is to buy tickets in advance through Viator. Although Viator offers a "Skip the Line" pass, there were no lines when I visited.

I bought two attractions but I only was able to go only one due that the Wildlife was closed and I didnt have enough time to go to another attractions. Best advice is not to buy this atraction until you get there.

Review by: Rachel G	March 2011

It was great : i loved seeing the dugongs and the sharks. I also did the glass bottom boat tour- at 11am which enables you to feed the shark : great feeling to see them swimming around and under the boat! you should do this one!

Review by: Maria Suzette C	June 2010
A good place for kids to explore and learn about the underwater world.

i had good time

Review by: Patricia W, United States of America	May 2010
We highly recommend this. Just the right size, displays are beautiful, many have seats in front of the large tanks and symphonic music is played over head. The shark tanks with the tubes over heard are fabulous.

Review by: Anonymous	April 2010
Having prepaid tickets was a huge time saver as we didn't have to wait in the long line for people purchasing tickets on the day. Aquarium was very busy, it being school holidays. Must say I was looking forward to getting out by the end. Wildlife World was a much more pleasant experience. The kangaroo and butterfly enclosures were a favourite for our kids. If you only have time or money to do one I'd recommend Wildlife World.

Review by: Jennifer G, United States of America	March 2010
What a nice aquarium! Not too busy and beautiful exhibits.

Review by: Todd L	March 2010
It was fun to visit. There were many different aquatic animals to see. I would recommend as part of a visit to Sidney.

Review by: Istvan S, United Kingdom	February 2010
Beautiful presentation in the middle of the City.

Review by: James W, United States of America	February 2010
Very enjoyable. It's right on the route for the hop on hop off bus. We included the wildlife tour also...a must see.

Review by: Anonymous, Australia	January 2010
A fantastic day. The kids loved it and were kept captivated all day. It was quite busy, being school holidays. I highly recommend it. It was amazing going through the tunnels seeing these magnificent creatures. My best tip would be to book the tickets online. Not only was it cheaper, but I saved about an hour's wait in the queue. I was able to go straight to the prepaid tickets counter, and literally minutes later I was in. I couldn't imagine having to wait so long with the kids in tow.

Review by: Kerrie O, Australia	January 2010
Although it was extremely busy in the middle of Christmas school holidays, it was still a great day. The Great Barrier Reef section is amazing, and it was great not having to line up in the very long queue for admission, we only had a very short wait in the prepaid ticket line.

Review by: Valerie F, United States of America	January 2010
Saw lots of water critters.

Best aquarium I've ever been to. The underwater tunnels were amazing and the sharks were massive. I would definitely recommend to anyone. Having a pre paid ticket was good because we didn't have to queue up and we saved a little bit of money!

Excellent layout clear and has the ability to really appreciate the 'big fish' in the aquarium environment. Very good written material on conservation and the Great Barrier Reef.

Review by: Sue W, United States of America	August 2008
The aquarium is fascinating and holds a wide array of Australian sealife including a huge shark tank that you can walk through. The best part was finally getting to see a platypus! They also have a great penguin exhibit that shouldn't be missed.

Our trip was great. We did not have to wait or line up for tickets, and we did not have to pay the full entry fee either, thanks to the Viator discount! Well done! We will definitely be using Viator in the future.

Review by: James N	April 2008
We go to lots of aquariums, and the Sydney Aquarium is definitely worth seeing.

Review by: Trevor W	March 2008
There were just too many people. We had to go back at the end of the day because of the crowds, and then we were tired and lacked enthusiasm.

Review by: Jeff L, Australia	February 2008
The Sydney Aquarium is a treat for adults and kids. It's a visual delight walking through the Perspex underwater tunnels and seeing 10-foot wide stingrays, dozens of different sharks and huge turtles swimming inches away. There is the greatest 'big screen' display ever, a tank so big it takes up an entire wall with thousands of colourful fish, rays and sharks circling endlessly - very therapeutic! Our family has been to the Sydney Aquarium many times and we're always amazed by something new each visit. Educational and awe-inspiring.

Review by: Patricia T, United States of America	February 2008
I took the kids here and they loved it. It may not be the world's top aquarium, but for sure there's so much here for kids and families that it's really worth the trip if you have kids and live or are visiting in Sydney.

It was fantastic . I had my 6yr old with me and we loved it. We go at least twice a year to the aquarium.

Review by: Christine C, United States of America	September 2007
I really enjoyed this aquarium. It has a pretty cool natural seal exhibit that takes in real ocean water due to the aquarium's location at Darling Harbour. I particularly wanted to see the Great Barrier Reef exhibit and that was just as amazing as I was expecting. Being able to go below and see the sharks in the underground tunnels was pretty awesome too. Only takes a few hours - great thing to do in Sydney.
