Sydney Aquarium
This place brings in more paying visitors than any other attraction in Australia – even with its hefty admission charges. Aqua fans enter through huge, kitsch, metallic shark jaws into 160m of underwater tunnels, looking at 11,000 happy Australian sea creatures. Highlights include clownfish, an intimidating array of sharks in the Open Ocean section, and the Great Barrier Reef exhibit’s swoon-worthy Van Gogh coral colours. Latest additions are dugongs "Pig"and "Wuru"in the Mermaid Lagoon section. Needless to say, kids love it. Arrive early to beat the crowds (but less chatter makes it harder to ignore the piped-in indigestive whale noises). Disabled access is good. Booking…

Oceanworld
This ain’t the place to come if you’re on your way to Manly Beach for a surf. Inside this daggy-looking ’80s building are underwater glass tubes through which you become alarmingly intimate with 3m sharks. Reckon they’re not hungry? Shark Dive Xtreme takes you into their world… Snakes and reptiles also put in an appearance.
