It is overrated,not worth the admission fee,certainly a money spinner by the queues of tourists ,perhaps thats all it is meant to be.A much better bet is the Manly aquarium ;It is not such a feeling of mug tourist; The staff are friendlier too!Perhaps Sydney Aquarium is suited to overfed yanks ,it is afterall just a stagger back to the block of flats they call cruise liners today.Brian.

If you are in Sydney for only a few days you should skip this aquarium.

It is way too crowded to enjoy and there is nothing terribly impressive about the fish displays.

Just went to the Aquarium for the second time and really enjoyed it although I wouldn't consider it the best acquarium I've seen (Chicago and Monterey acquariums are more impressive). What's nice is that it specializes in Australia's marine life and covers all areas well. Most spectacular are the exhibits where you walk through glass tunnels while fish and sharks swim around you. Those exhibits alone are worth the entry fee.

It was so friendly and learnt heaps of cool and interesting facts. My 8 year old brother didn't want to leave and it was amazing.

its crystal clear that not only is it the best aquarium ever but its got the best features ever the best part is you dont have to be young to enjoy it. i and my to young feral sons absouloutly loved the sharks, stingrays and all the colourful fish cant wait till next holidays... hope to see use there.

peace out. ;}

...if you can't stand mobs of kids screaming then you might want to skip this place. It's a madhouse. The tunnels where you watch the sharks and the seals are pretty cool.

I enjoyed my visit to the Aquarium, but at the end of my day found it a lot to take in all at once. The larger pools, seals, etc. were nice to see. The poor croc seemed a bit cramped in his little habitat. I found the twisting/turning tunnel-like access to the larger pools, although a good use of limited space, a bit tedious, especially when the ...

the aquarium was not that big at the time,but very good. the shark tank was absolutely excellent, the way you can walk around under the tank. its a great place for the kids. a place must see .

they employ some cool ways of displaying the aquatic life, and the interactive aspects (e.g. aquarium where you can 'feel' your way around a small aquatic ecosystem) really won me over
