Beautiful place, You can see so many spices and colorful fish. Few times a day they feed the fish, turtles and sharks. During the feeding the guide explain about the life of the fish and the efforts to save the animals and the nature.

Lots to see. Wonderful to be able to view some of the sea life in their own habitat in the 360 degree viewing galleries. Nice to see the turtles etc too. We enjoyed the film with special moving seating. A worthwhile morning or afternoon trip.

Great variety of fish. Lots to see. Recommend for all ages. Feeding times for the sharks not as exciting as I expected, but at least you can get close to them behind the safety of a screen! Turtles huge and appealing. "Sensurround" film (moving seats) quite well done - Disneyworld style. We did not go on the submarine tour because... More

perhaps good for families with young children or as a first intoroduction to Marine Parks. If you have been to larger observatories, skip this one

We bought a package that we can visit the Observatory, Coral 2000, Ocenarium and the meal. We couldn't enjoy the Coral 2000 underwater tour since the visibility of water was poor on that day and they offered us refunds but anyway we took that tour. Observatory was good. I didn't like the Oceanarium Theatre. It was just moving chairs and... More
