Learning About Sea Creatures At The Melbourne Aquarium

By John Theil


Old and young alike can learn about ocean life as well as fresh water creatures at the Melbourne Aquarium. It makes for a great vacation spot, or a school field trip. It gives people that love ocean life a chance to see them in their natural environment. Everyone can learn what these creatures eat, how they defend themselves from predators as well as other interesting facts.

The price of the family tickets seems to be a good bargain than buying them individually, however it would depend upon the number of people that you have with you and their ages. A family ticket is for two adults and two children between the ages three and fifteen. The tickets remain good for a year from the date of purchase and if you are a member, you can save money buy ordering the tickets online.

If you are simply someone who is young at heart and not in age, perhaps being with the large crowds that gather is not suitable for you. You may enjoy the aquariums much more on a Friday night where you can dress and socialize with a smaller group of adults. The atmosphere is certainly more relaxed and enjoyable with soothing music, cocktail drinks and food. Add on to that a delectable dessert and there you have Friday Night Drinks at Melbourne Aquarium.

Perhaps you have always wanted to swim with sharks. Well now your dreams can come true. Trained professionals will take you through the proper way to go diving. They will also give you safety instructions in case there is need for them. There will always be someone that you can go into the water with. So strap on that wet suit and dive in. It is sure to be exciting and enjoyable for you.

With a variety of exhibits, you can enjoy partaking of them all or simply stopping to enjoy a specific one. Penguins and sharks often have feeding times, you could be lucky enough to see the feeding frenzy if you stay long enough. The Antarctica and handling exhibits are certainly well worth stopping to see as well. You will get to learn more about each of their habitats and may even learn the difference between reef life and river life.

Schools have quite a few options available to them with the aquarium. Whether they are able to have a field trip to the aquarium to see the aquatic life or simply have them come to the school and teach them about specific topics remains simply a choice for the school and teachers to make. Regardless of which option they select the students will certainly get the hands on approach and learn a great deal.

There is much more than meets the eye to the aquarium. They also have a dining spot, where you can simply go to enjoy any meal there from breakfast to dinner. Their menus can be quite elaborate or simpler. This is in part due to the number of birthday parties, weddings, corporate family days and conferences that they cater to.

There are opportunities to learn around every corner and much fun to be had by all. The aquariums can be a fantastic way to bring the family closer and create magical memories while learning. As mentioned the cost may be worth the visit to you.
