Unveiling the New Seahorse Kingdom
Begin your visit by exploring the newly launched Seahorse Kingdom at SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast. The Seahorse Kingdom isn’t just any exhibit; it's an undersea adventure into the mythical city of Atlantis, hosting over 100 seahorses across various species. This world-class display is one of the largest seahorse exhibits in Australia, designed to dazzle with its mystery and beauty. Here, you can witness the delicate dance of seahorses in their naturalistic habitats, adorned with thematic decorations that echo the legendary sunken city.
Create memorable and educational experiences at Seahorse Kingdom that both mums and children will cherish this Mother’s Day. Beyond merely observing, Seahorse Kingdom engages visitors of all ages with a variety of interactive experiences. Dive deep into the enchanting world of these charismatic creatures through hands-on activities designed to educate and captivate. Discover the unique biological traits of seahorses, including their upright swimming posture and the male’s remarkable role in childbirth—where they famously carry and nurture the eggs in their own pouch.
