Melbourne Aquarium in AustraliaMelbourne Aquarium is located in Australia, located on the banks of the Yarra River, Flinders Street between King and Melbourne, the aquarium is a multi-level building filled with sea creatures and fish of all kinds, shapes and sizes.

When we entered the aquarium the first thing that comes to see the tanks are well lit, showing the fish. We can see the sea dragons, giant crabs and lots of other varieties of fish and shellfish.

The entrance gives visitors a taste of what is coming and from there we can enter the top floor of the aquarium. This level is great for young people as they can access a lot of interesting information about marine creatures and their way of life. Also on this level there are multiple screens, including shallow tanks where you can see small creatures – such as crabs and starfish – roughly, one has animals living in small towns like long-necked turtles, dragons water, eels and fish.

From the top floor, then we can go to a road that takes you to see the tanks on the big screen. This is an impressive wall-to-ceiling screen with a coral reef, plus you can jellyfish tanks where you can spend hours watching them floating around.

Descending further into the depths you can see a tank of 60,000 liters where we see a baby shark, this tank is part of a conservation of sharks, this part of the aquarium is fantastic and you should set aside at least an hour not to wander around and enjoy the views of fish, sharks, rays and other beasts swimming behind the large glass panels.
