Fun Mother's Day Activities in Melbourne – Mums Go Free at SEA LIFE

  • Wednesday 7th May 2025

Mini Marine Mornings

Not another candle. Not another pair of slippers. This year, give Mum a Mother’s Day experience she’ll actually remember — complete with penguins, glowing reefs and an underwater world to explore. Even better? Mums go free!

Explore Night on the Reef

Venture into the Night on the Reef at SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium, where the magic of bioluminescence lights up an immersive underwater world. Watch the reef transform from day to night as vibrant coral glows and marine life shimmers in the dark - , an experience included with general admission! (and mums get in free!)

 

Meet the Penguins and other sea life

There’s something special about sharing a quiet moment watching penguins waddle by or standing side-by-side in front of a shark tank, wide-eyed. At SEA LIFE Melbourne, every corner brings a chance to slow down and enjoy something new — like catching a glimpse of fan-favourite Pesto the Penguin or discovering creatures you’ve never seen before.

With 12 themed zones to explore, from Coral Atoll to Penguin Playground, it’s an experience that’s as magical for grown-ups as it is for little ones.



Still Stuck on a Present? We've Got You 

If you're running out of time (or just out of ideas), gift vouchers to SEA LIFE Melbourne are a lifesaver. They’re flexible, fun, and give Mum the chance to plan her perfect day — whether that means penguin encounters, a deep-sea stroll, or simply soaking it all in at her own pace.

 

All-Weather Fun for Mother’s Day

Rain or shine, SEA LIFE Melbourne is the perfect place to escape to an enchanting marine world. Enhance your visit with pre-visit activities like sketching fish species or watching marine documentaries. These preparations add an educational twist, making the day memorable for both mums and kids.

 

Make It a Full Day Adventure

Once you’ve explored SEA LIFE Melbourne, there’s still plenty more to see — and all within easy walking distance. Stroll the riverside along Southbank, grab a bite near Crown, or stroll up to Collins street to check out the new Il Mercato Centrale.. Melbourne’s top spots and laneways are right on your doorstep, making it easy to turn Mother’s Day into a full day of fun.

 

Even Better! Mums go FREE at Sea Life Melbourne
