Are you offering a discount while the Oceanarium is being refurbished?

While the Oceanarium undergoes an exciting renovation our sharks and rays will be temporarily off display.

During weekdays outside of school holidays we will be giving a 20% discount and during weekends, school holidays and public holidays we'll be giving a 10% discount .

Is the new digital experience accessible?

Just like the rest of SEA LIFE Melbourne, Submerged is wheelchair accessible and suitable for prams, with access available via lifts. Submerged does not include smoke, haze or strobe lights. The exhibition does feature slow-moving projections, which may have an effect on people who are sensitive to moving light or have photosensitive epilepsy. If you feel unwell at any time while visiting SEA LIFE Melbourne, please let our team know. learn more about our accessibility .

When will the Oceanarium reopen?

We are planning to reopen the reinvigorated Oceanarium in December 2023. The exact date will be confirmed closer to the time.

Where are the animals that were in the Oceanarium?

The creatures that resided in our Oceanarium have either been moved to our sister attractions SEA LIFE Sydney and SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast, or are currently behind the scenes here at SEA LIFE Melbourne. The creatures have been transported safely and our dedicated team has ensured their comfort every step of the way.

Opening times today: 9am - 5pm (Last entry at 4pm)
