Night on the Reef

Discover the newly renovated oceanarium!

Explore Night on the Reef

Dive into Night on the Reef at SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium, a dazzling underwater wonderland that takes guests on an enchanting journey into the mesmerising world of bioluminescence beneath the sea. The newly renovated oceanarium is now open and is included in the price of a general admission ticket!

Yes, our Night on the Reef oceanarium is open. Night on the Reef is home to many incredible sea creatures, including sea turtles, sharks, sawfish, and hundreds of tropical fish.

Recently, some of the animals in our oceanarium required some extra care and despite the best efforts of our specialist teams and vets, we are sad to confirm the passing of a small number of creatures, including our beloved guitarfish.

The welfare and safety of our animals is of the utmost importance to us, so while an investigation into the passing of these creatures is underway, we have temporarily moved some of our animals, including rays off display.

We want to say a heartfelt thank you to our guests and the public for their support and patience and look forward to seeing you soon.
