Sea Life Sunshine Coast reviews
SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast is an absolute gem and a must-visit for families, couples, and anyone who loves marine life! From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the vibrant exhibits and the incredible variety of sea creatures. The underwater tunnel was breathtaking, offering a close-up view of sharks, rays, and schools of colorful fish gliding gracefully above us.
The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about conservation. They were more than happy to answer our questions and share fascinating facts about the animals. The interactive rockpool experience was a highlight, especially for the kids, who loved being able to gently touch starfish and sea cucumbers.

Overall, SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast exceeded our expectations. We left with smiles on our faces and a deeper appreciation for the wonders of the ocean. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area!

SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast Aquarium is a fun and educational exploration destination for underwater enthusiasts! There are many unique surprising animals that can be viewed here and the whole aquarium is spacious and well maintained.
The little blue penguins were a surprise as well as a giant cuttlefish, Grouper, lungfish, peppered moray eel, eagle rays, seahorses and so many more sea creatures. The staff are enthusiastic and friendly. There are many behind the scenes opportunities that can be purchased separately including scuba diving and swimming with a seal!
