Lonely Planet review

City-slicker sea life, a long way from home, lives very publicly at the Melbourne Aquarium. Rays, gropers and sharks cruise around their 2.2-million-litre tank, watched closely by visitors in the see-through tunnel that traverses the aquarium floor. You can also scuba dive, so occasionally you'll see a troupe of brave souls walking by on the other side of the glass.

Abutting the oceanarium is a theatre, from which staff deliver educative speeches about the passing parade. Spread over three levels, the complex also features Jellies and Coral Atoll displays, as well as a Billabong display that rains intermittently.
