1/2 day at the Perth Aquarium at Hillaries

Skylar was a wealth of information in the glass bottom boat as a marine biologist student. We fed fish watched the diver feeding the sharks. The tunnel has a moving conveyor which removes that pressure you feel to move along faster as people gather behind you, stay on the conveyor or step off and walk along at your own pace. Lots to see, hands on for the kids, mermaid show was great. Location this facility is a bonus take your swimming gear as there’s a cool swimming sandy beached cove, inflatable water obstacle course at sone cost.

Thoroughly educational!

We purchased a deal for glass bottom boat tour with general admission and found the experience to be well worth it. Learning about corals and the various marine life around the WA coast was eye opening. In truth, learning about the biodiversity of the ocean off the WA coast we have a newfound respect for that marine life. The glass bottom boat experience was fascinating, with the host offering a great commentary on the various species in the particular pool. After it we went into the tunnel beneath and able to see the same sharks, ray and turtle we’d seen from above. The downside was that it was particularly busy, so that we were kind of shoved along when trying to read the information on the various aquariums. However, we did choose Fathers Day to visit, so we shouldn’t have been surprised!

Awesome underwater adventure @ AQWA

We visited AQWA during school holidays while visiting Perth from Sydney. We did the glass bottom boat tour with our 2 kids and thoroughly enjoyed the commentary by the guide and snippets of information about the aquarium and the collection. The cafe serves good food and drinks and offers a relaxing break in-between tours. A must visit for families with young kids and even early teens.

A great hour at Aqwa

We actually did the glass bottom boat plus behind the scenes but i cant select that for some reason. The family was 2 adults, 2 teens and an under 10. The glass bottom boat was far and away worth doing - feeding the fish and seeing the real size of the sharks and other animas was very cool. Being able to see the rescue turtles up close, octopus being readied to be added to the exabits and the private tour with a knowledgeable guide was all great

It’s the first time I...

It’s the first time I made that experiment with the family and it was superb. I would love to do it over and over again.
