The aquarium is very new and though not huge is very nice. My 3 year old son enjoyed the penguin feeding. We were able to get very close to the penguins. He also enjoyed the sea lion show, again we were very close. The penguin and sea lion area is unique as it is on a city roof top, but... More

Great place, great variety, pretty busy as expected. Got to see the sea lion feeding and the water show, both were cool. Would be a great family place.

For an aquarium located on the top floor of a shopping plaza, the Sunshine aquarium does a good job presenting various species of fresh and salt water animals along with some reptiles and amphibians. It is a serene experience, but best enjoyed along with the nearby Planetarium. It holds 40 minute long shows every hour, which are enjoyable even if... More

Since we went on a Sunday and I'd read it gets very crowded, we arrived early (9.30) and after lining up for about 15 mins, we got our tickets and were in by 9.45. (This was the right decision, as by the time we left at... More

A wide range of wildlife to view and a couple of fun shows to watch (include a pair of seals who looked like they were having a fun old time!)

Very nice and not too big, ideal if you have small children as it's not overwhelming in scale. But it's also quite busy, so don't go expecting peaceful views of the fish.
