Let's fall in love
Love is in the air… in the oceans, and in the bush this February! To mark the arrival of World Pride in Sydney this summer, SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium and WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo are celebrating diversity and relationships in the animal kingdom at our brand new event - Dating & Mating!
Launching this Valentine’s Day, waddle up our rainbow VIP carpet and begin your journey into our colourful world. Dive into some of the fascinating stories of our creatures and the different roles they play in finding a mate, breeding, and bringing up their young – you’ll get an incredible insight into the world of dating and mating across our many animal species, both on land and underwater.
Double Date!
Can't get enough? Then hop across to WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo to continue unearthing the amazing knowledge! Fancy discovering how our new Freshwater Crocodiles use bubbles to attract a mate? Want to find out which creatures are so independent they clone themselves rather than breed? Help our Bower Birds decorate their nests to attract a mate.
