Celebrating Inclusion at SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium
- Tuesday 3rd December 2024
At SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium, we believe everyone should have the chance to experience the magic of the underwater world. That’s why, on this International Day of People with a Disability, we’re thrilled to share our latest steps toward making our space more inclusive and welcoming for all.
Introducing Our Sensory Room
Mark your calendars for December 14th! We’re hosting a special Quiet Morning and unveiling our brand-new Sensory Room.
This thoughtfully designed space is a haven for guests who experience sensory sensitivities. With calming lighting, soothing sounds, and interactive features, it’s crafted to provide a peaceful environment where everyone can feel at ease while exploring the wonders of SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium.
What is the Sensory Room?
Our Sensory Room, developed in collaboration with Creative Sensory Spaces, is tailored to provide a calming retreat. Inside, guests can enjoy:
- Gentle lighting and soothing visuals.
- Interactive sensory elements for hands-on engagement.
- A safe, quiet space to relax and reset during your visit.
It’s our way of ensuring that everyone, regardless of their sensory needs, can comfortably experience the wonders of the ocean.
Why We’re Excited
This initiative reflects our commitment to creating a place where families and individuals of all abilities can share in the joy and discovery of marine life. We hope this sensory-friendly experience helps foster unforgettable moments for our guests, creating a true sense of belonging.
Join Us for a Special Quiet Morning
📅 When: Saturday, 14th December 2024

This exclusive event offers a quieter, more relaxed environment for visitors who may find regular opening hours overwhelming. During the Quiet Morning, we’ll adjust the aquarium’s atmosphere by:
- Dimming the lights to create a soothing setting.
- Reducing noise levels, including turning off interactive displays and background music.
- Providing a low-capacity environment to ensure a more peaceful experience.
Visitors will also be among the first to explore our brand-new Sensory Room, a thoughtfully curated space designed for guests with sensory sensitivities.
