Absolutely incredible experience, the aquarium has ample space which is nice to see that all of the sea life are living in enclosures that are appropriately sized. The river cruise was also run on a beautiful day with helpful and informative staff that made the views of Melbourne from the Yarra even more captivating! Highly recommend doing both

I've always wanted to visit the museum but thought that it wouldn't be very exciting or interesting, wow was I wrong, we were so amazed at everything there. We have already converted our tickets to a family yearly membership and will be visiting again very soon.
