About SEA LIFE Melbourne

The aquarium spans multiple levels with different habitats set up on each one ranging from the deep sea to tropical rainforests!

SEA LIFE Melbourne Sections

  • Penguin Playground: The penguins are a firm favourite! SEA LIFE Melbourne has two penguin species, King Penguins and Gentoo Penguins! Come and watch them waddle around on their ice blanket and go for a swim in their pool!
  • Ocean Invaders: Jellyfish! An amazing new area where you can sit and be mesmerised by the gentle sway of the jellyfish. Sit in the tunnel and just watch them float past. Different shapes and sizes.
  • Bay of Rays: The Bay of Rays is home to the aquarium’s rays and sharks and lots of fish!
  • Touch Pools: One of our favourite sections that allows you to get a little closer to some of the residents of the aquarium. Touch sea stars (formerly known as Starfish!) and even shark eggs, amongst others!
  • Crocodile Lair: Here you can find one of the country’s biggest crocodiles measuring at just under 6 metres, Pinjarra is a 65-year old male Saltwater Crocodile and a very popular resident at the aquarium!
  • Coral Atoll: Home to beautiful colourful fish such as clownfish, tangs and spikey lionfish! Did you know that lionfish can shoot their spikes if they feel threatened!
  • Shipwreck Explorer: In shipwreck explorer you can find amazing creatures like eels, more lionfish and other big fish!
  • Seahorse Pier: Home to the magical and rather shy seahorses, the fascinating species that is the Sea Dragon (if you haven’t seen a sea dragon before, you will be amazed by them!) and the colour changing cuttlefish!
  • Rainforest: Finally, in the rainforest section you can find a multitude of creatures including fish, lizards, turtles, frogs and snakes!

Other highlights at SEA LIFE Melbourne include the Oceanarium, which is a vast tank where you can walk through a 360-degree underwater ocean tunnel, which gives the sensation of being surrounded by sharks, rays, turtles and other large sea creatures!

The aquarium offers multiple interactive exhibits as well as educational displays, and shows, making it a fun and engaging experience for visitors of all ages!
