AQWA is a wonderful experience! The underwater tunnel is truly breathtaking, and the exhibits showcase Western Australia’s marine life beautifully. My daughter especially enjoyed the touch pools, and the whole place was clean, well-organized, and engaging. It’s not the largest aquarium I’ve visited, but it’s definitely a must-see in Perth.

Loved the aquarium, well laid out, nice tanks, some very vibrant colours and lighting, particularly for the corals, and a lovely vibe about the place. Some amazing creatures on display and plenty of information for each one. My son did the scuba with sharks experience and it was great, well organised and he loved it. Special shout out to Debbie in reception. She is so lovely, an amazing profession...

The aquarium was so cool! It had a glow in the dark feel to it. My friend and I really enjoyed it, as we saw many different sea creatures such as clown fish, sea dragon, stingray and shark. It was nice to see all the kids with their parents enjoy it so much too, as it adds to the positive vibe. Also a very close walk from the Hillarys Boat Harbour too~

A great place to visit, especially if you have young kids. It's perfect for a weekend trip during the summer. They have their own café, but if you'd like more options, you can walk to Breakwater, which is within walking distance. There are plenty of interactive and educational tools for children to learn about marine life. Definitely a good destination for families with young kids.

Really good aquarium with stunning scenery flowing through the plentiful things you could do. Recommended to bring kids for a fun day out, especially with food and interactive experiences near the end of the aquarium. Be warned, could be a bit crowded on some days and times so be sure to book in advance. Make sure to take photos to remember it.
