Tap turned on Shark Valley

After nine months of renovations, we've turned the tap on our 1.5 million litre Oceanarium, which is to become Shark Valley - one of 14 new themed zones of the new SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium, launching just in time for these school holidays on 24 September!

This process of filling up the oceanarium takes days as the pontoon-styled Oceanarium requires a delicate balancing act of intermittent water releases. Once filled, the Oceanarium will become home to over 1700 magnificent marine animals!

Shark Valley spans an impressive 100 metres of ocean tunnel walkthrough and houses a giant whale skeleton amongst the tumble-down ruins of an ancient Lost City temple.

And if walking amongst huge sharks isn't frightening enough, then take on Shark Walk - a glass walkway partly submerged in water which will allow you to face your fears and walk over a variety of stunning sharks including Grey Nurse and Lemon Sharks!
