SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium will be opening their doors for a ‘Sensory Session'. All proceeds donated to Merlin's Magic Wand Children's Charity.

Time: 8-9.30am
Date: Saturday 21st February 2026
Theme: Ocean of Love

This is an opportunity to welcome guests who are likely to experience sensory overload during usual operating hours due to crowds, excess lighting, and sound in our attractions. Along with turning off our sound, dimming the lights, and welcoming guests outside of operating hours, we will be restricting the number of people per timeslot. Please note that SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium will open to the general public at 9:30am.

This event has a reduced cost with all proceeds donated to Merlin's Magic Wand Children's Charity. Limited sensory kits will be available at admissions, which include noise-reducing earplugs and noise-reducing earmuffs.

Please note that the Penguin Boat Ride will be closed during those hours as we follow the penguins' natural schedule; however, you will still be able to see our penguins on the ice.
