Beaustiful exhibit
AQWA was a great, fun way to spend a windy morning in Perth. Staff was very friendly and engaging. The exhibits are very well kept, with thorough information. The underwater tunnel was a hit with the kids. It is pricey but worth it.

Water wonderland
Compares very favourably with the Oceanarium on Sentosa albeit on a smaller scale. Took our three granddaughters who were enthralled by the exhibits; they loved the boat ride and mermaids, although our youngest DID adk Mermaid Pearl if she was real. A suggestion however. Please limit the seating in front of the mermaid display to the CHILDREN, and encourage their caregivers to stand behind. We found it impossible to get our grandchildren anywhere NEAR the show, hence them wanting to leave. Otherwise, a wonderful place to visit.
