SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium

Snap a picture with our resident penguins and suit up in some snow gear to have your penguin encounter! Learn all about what it takes to care for our penguins, and how the mechanics of our Antarctic exhibit keep our penguins really cool! 

Plus, talk to one of our knowledgeable keepers on our daily penguin talks, and even board our Penguin Boat Ride - the world-first penguin boat ride that takes you through the penguin exhibit (included in admission pricing!)

Take a walk on the wild side these school holidays and rediscover your backyard neighbours! From frogs to lizards, platypi to koalas - WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo has exactly what you're looking for to experience the authenticity of Aussie wildlife - plus, they're home to the Big Aussie FIVE!

WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo is one of the best things to do with the family this Christmas.
