SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium opened in 2000. The attraction exhibits over 1,000 forms of marine life and 550 plus species from the coastal waters of Australia as far south as the Antarctica, home of the Gentoo and King penguins. Kids love the Rockpools, Bay of Rays and Coral Caves. The most popular feature is the half million gallon Oceanarium where guests feel submerged among the swimming creatures, aquatic plants and colorful reef. From the exterior, the Life Centre building resembles a ship anchored along a Yarra River quay.
