Kids love the cute Fairy Penguins, Octopus and Cuttlefish inhabitants of the Great Australian Bight. Plus, don't let the kids miss the Open Oceanarium where you will be surrounded by one of the world's most extensive collection of sharks - some over 3.5 metres long and weighing 300kg! Watch the endangered Grey Nurse Sharks and giant stingrays passing overhead as you walk through our underwater tunnels!

The Seal Sanctuary offers kids the chance to view one of the worlds first known all natural Seal Sanctuaries. Get closer than ever before, by walking through the underwater tunnels to see the seals racing through the water at full speed or just frolicking around. The exhibit features a 2 million litre tank where the water is pumped and filtered directly from Sydney Harbour creating a natural environment for the seals to live in.

Kids can visit the home of Nemo and see clown fish dart amongst the wavering tentacles of an anemone, as well as sea stars and cucumbers silently creeping amongst the coral. Observing this spectacle from a tunnel with totally transparent floor, ceiling and walls is a Sydney thrill not to be missed!

Sydney Aquarium also has two interactive touch pools which are a great hit with the kids.

Sydney Aquarium is great fun for kids during the school holidays, or at any time of the year.
