Select ticket

Explore the full attraction

Your ticket displays your time to enter the aquarium. Once inside the attraction, guests will be issued a set time to take a break from exploring the centre and head to the Ocean display window for the mer-people experience. This will help to ensure your experience is no overcrowded with a great view!

So don't worry about rushing around the first half of the attraction; take your time and say hi to all the fishes first. Then arrive at the ocean display for your party’s allocated mermaid viewing time. This will ensure everyone gets to see the mermaids without queuing.
