We enjoyed our trips to the Aquarium, Skydeck and Gaol immensely. My husband is an avid aquarium fan, having 4 fish tanks at home, and found the whole visit amazing. We took my son and his girlfriend with us to the skydeck and all 4 of us found the place fantastic. What views over the city!! We went to the Gaol the next day...very interesting but a bit weird in places...the death masks to name one thing!! We have some great photos to remind us of our stay.Christine. Leicester

A gorgeous aquarium and a wonderful experience! No queueing required makes the visit even better.

These tickets were great, just jumped ahead of everyone. Only problem was that I only had my e-voucher and they needed a hard copy so i had to e-mail mine to the aquarium e-mail. Other than that these are great and the aquarium is amazing

Purchasing our tickets online before we arrived was the best thing we did. Not only was it $5 cheaper each but the 'skip the line' service saved us waiting in line for 20 minutes with our 1 year old! The Melbourne Aquarium is a great and fun way to spend an afternoon.

Must be the best way to get into the aquarium full stop. I showed the email confirmation I was sent after booking the tickets online to one of the aquarium staff managing the line to get in and she took us straight to the front counter and in we went. The aquarium is definitely worth seeing and it has my favourite animal in the world - the leafy sea dragon. All round pleased.

The aquarium is a must-see. There are so many amazing exhibitions in addition to the big ones like the walk through oceanarium and the penguins. My 6 year old was captivated for 2 hours so that's how good it was. Highly recommended! Also smooth booking process with Viator, trouble free ticketing and good savings made.

The Aquarium was a nice way to spend a rainy day!
Review by David C, Australia, October 2010
Worth the price of admission just to see the King and Gentoo penguins, which you won't see in any other Australian aquariums. It was quite a sight seeing the Gentoo penguins race each other - they were swimming through the water with bullet like speed. The King penguins weren't as active but there was something majestic about their appearance, even when they were waddling across the ice. Other highlights included the sharks, stingrays and turtles.

Was not really busy the time we went but there were alot of school groups that came after. Aquarium had some variety of displays and sea life. The best display to watch were the Penguins... so energetic and fun. There were a few baby penguins at the time too :D

The aquarium was great but the toilets were filthy. The disabed toilet was in with the baby change room and there were dirty nappies all over the floor.

The experience was wonderful. My wife , my 2yr old son and I arrived at the aquarium at about 11:00am and we just sailed through the line. Went straight to the front, didnt have to stand in the long queue and we were in... Twas a great experience.

Aquarium is worth visiting for the penguins alone, was slightly disappointed in the lack of coral displays though. Also could have had a 20% discount just by using voucher from the freely available Melbourne Visitor books you find in hotels and tourist info booths. (Viator was 10%) No queue at all the time we went, so maybe the skip the line thing might prove worthwhile for the lesser discount if it were busy

Appreciated being able to "skip the line" as it was school holidays and the Aquarium was quite busy. We were also on a limited time frame so appreciated not having to wait in a long line. The Melbourne Aquarium was interesting and well set out. Appreciated the photo package that was available at the end of the day. It seemed to be value for money.

Aquarium was ok, so crowded but we did go on a weekend. Skydeck has amazing views of Melbourne. We went about 7 o'clock so got the daylight views, we stayed until it got dark too. Jail was ok.
