Fun Activities in SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast Aquarium

With over 10,000 amazing creatures waiting to meet you, this aquarium is more than just tanks and fish. It's a portal to a lively underwater world, and there's something for everyone to enjoy. Here are 5 fun activities that will make your visit unforgettable:

1. Walk Through a Coral Rainbow

Get lost in the dazzling colours of the Coral Coast exhibit. Imagine swimming alongside colourful fish – from Nemo-orange clownfish to shimmering butterfly fish – as they dart between anemones and coral castles. It's like snorkelling without getting wet! 

2. Hang Out with Playful Penguins

Waddle over to Penguin Island and meet the colony of adorable Little Blue Penguins. Watch them frolic in their icy pool, zoom down their rock slide, and maybe even catch their feeding time (they gobble up fish like champs!). 

3. Touch a Starfish (or Make Friends with a Stingray)

Get hands-on at the Tidal Touchpool and marvel at the wonders of rock pools. Gently stroke a bumpy starfish, feel the prickle of a sea urchin, or even say hello to a friendly stingray (they're surprisingly smooth!). 

4. Come Face-to-Face with Sharks (Safely!)

Take a walk through the Ocean Tunnel and feel the thrill of being surrounded by sharks and rays as they glide gracefully overhead. Don't worry, you're safe and dry – but the view is guaranteed to make your heart skip a beat! 

5. Get Mesmerised by the Jellyfish Symphony

Step into the mesmerising Jellyfish Kingdom and watch these graceful dancers drift through neon-lit tanks. It's like a living light show, and you'll be lost in their hypnotic sway. 

Bonus Tip: Don't miss the Seal Presentation! Watch these clever creatures show off their skills and learn about their amazing underwater world. You might even get splashed!
