[2025 Hillarys Attraction] Travel Guide for AQWA The Aquarium Of Western Australia (Updated Jun)

The aquarium is small but had fun there. Took the Glass Bottom Boat and saw many sea creatures close-up. Had the opportunity to feed them and the kids enjoyed the entire trip to AQWA. Love the automated underwater tunnel where we get to see many different species and also had the chance of seeing the divers feeding the sea creatures. On top of that, there are also areas where we can touch some of the sea creatures such as starfish and even little sharks. last but not least thanks to the staff at the AQWA. All of them were very friendly and gave us a good introduction of the aquarium and the sea creatures they have. Awesome! #aqwa #aquarium #awesomepic #naturalwonders

There is a transparent tunnel here that makes you feel like you are in the ocean. It is a great place for family travel, especially for children.

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 The Aquarium of Western Australia (AQWA) is located in Perth, Western Australia. It is a famous attraction that showcases Western Australian marine life. Home to over 400 species of marine life from local oceans, it allows visitors to get up close and personal with a wide variety of marine life, from tropical fish to giant sharks. The biggest highlight of the aquarium is its giant tunnel aquarium, where visitors can walk in the tunnel and enjoy a 360-degree view of the magnificent sight of sharks, eels and other marine creatures swimming. In addition to the regular display areas, the aquarium also has interactive exhibits suitable for family travelers, allowing children to participate in activities such as feeding marine life. It is also an important base for studying marine life and protecting the environment. For tourists who love nature and the ocean, the Western Australian Aquarium is undoubtedly an unforgettable experience not to be missed.

It displays various aquatic creatures that can only be found in Western Australia. We have been to many aquariums, but it was special. On weekends, my family visits a lot. It took us about an hour or two to look around.

#travelanywhere Visiting AQWA, the Aquarium of Western Australia, was an immersive and educational journey into the marine wonders of Australia's coastline. Located in Hillarys Boat Harbour, Perth, AQWA showcases a diverse range of marine life from the Indian and Southern Oceans. Exploring the aquarium's exhibits, I encountered colorful coral reefs teeming with tropical fish, majestic sharks swimming in a giant underwater tunnel, and playful sea lions in interactive displays. The highlight was the Shipwreck Coast exhibit, where I learned about the rich maritime history of Western Australia and discovered the fascinating creatures that inhabit its underwater landscapes. Interactive touch pools allowed hands-on encounters with starfish and other marine creatures, adding to the educational experience. Whether enjoying informative talks by marine biologists or marveling at the beauty of underwater ecosystems, AQWA offers a captivating experience for visitors of all ages, making it a must-visit attraction to explore Australia's diverse marine habitats.

#australiatrip Lovely experience. I hadn't been for atleast a decade. They have a new outdoor section. When I arrived it was fast to get my admission and enter. At the second little aquarium window a worker stopped and had a chat to me which was very informative. She was very lovely and friendly. There was a stretch of lots of little windows that showed coral and fish of different parts of the coast or river. This then opened to a display in the middle of a room where you can see larger fish and some young stingrays. I went outside to the touch pool and stroked a couple of small sharks. They had a couple of juvenile turtles out side too. The marina and coral reef displays were beautiful, I enjoyed the school of fish swimming in a circle in front of one of the viewing windows. Inside down the stairs the travellator that goes around under the large tank full of huge stingrays and sharks was much the same as I remember, there were lots of big fish and sharks too and even a loggerhead turtle. I love turtles!
