The Melbourne Aquarium is located right in the CBD, just before the footbridge over to the Crown complex. It is easy to get to and quite the fun little detour in a city more well known for its food and cultural experiences.
The highlight for me was definitely the Antartic Penguin Experience. They are amaaaaaaaaaaaaazing! This is the first enclosure of its kind in Australia and they are a sight to behold. Whether cruising around their pool or waddling over their arctic landscape, they are enthralling little fellas and quite the surreal experience in the middle of a capital city.
There are thousands (?) of other animals to view at the aquarium - turtles, frogs, snakes, eels, jellyfish, fish of all shapes and sizes, sharks and so many more it is impossible to count (although that would be a great way to keep the kids busy while here). It is a fun experience for the young and old; anyone with a curious mind really!
