REVIEWS:

“This is quite small aquarium but the King penguin were very active in the pool especially around feeding time. So many of them swim around to get the squids was quite a sight. The raft ride was very short, just fun for the photo shoot.The tunnel views of sharks is fun. A good place to spend couple hours with kids.” -Patrick Spencer

REVIEWS:

“Found this place almost by accident. A lot of people might be put off by the 200 steps, but it is so worth it. The exhibition is really interesting and the 360 degree view from the top is amazing. A real gem that not many people seem to know about. Also did I mention it’s $15 to get in, unlike the bridge-climb which is $308?” -Danique Westerveld

Australian National Maritime Museum

Australian National Maritime Museum is Darling Harbour’s showpiece and remains the Australian government’s most visible national cultural institution in Sydney.

The Australian National Maritime Museum occupies an outstanding harbour-side site close to the centre of Sydney – Australia’s oldest city and for a long time the nation’s busiest port. It stands on land traditionally owned by the Gadigal people who found a rich source of fish and shellfish in the sheltered waters of Darling Harbour and Cockle Bay. Indigenous culture is explored in our core exhibition Eora First People.

REVIEWS:

“This maritime museum is a must SEA if you are in Sydney. You can get to see and board a battleship and submarine. The James Cameron Challenger Deep Exhibit was both amazing and inspiring. If you go through all the exhibits it could take you at least a half day as the museum is fairly huge. Truly worth the price of admission.” -Gino Bondoc
