The Sydney Aquarium, which opened in 1988, during Australia's bicentenary celebrations, is one of the largest aquariums in the world. It contains a large variety of Australian aquatic life.
Its key exhibits are a series of underwater, see-through, acrylic glass tunnels where sharks swim above visitors, and recreation of a Great Barrier Reef coral environment. "The Seal Sanctuary offers kids the chance to view one of the worlds first known all natural Seal Sanctuaries. Get closer than ever before, by walking through the underwater tunnels to see the seals racing through the water at full speed or just frolicking around. The exhibit features a 2 million litre tank where the water is pumped and filtered directly from Sydney Harbour."
