A lovely local place to take the kids for a day out. It was raining when we went and this was the perfect place to spend the day out of the rain. So many different sea creatures to see. We particularly liked the seal show. My kids loved the new kids play area.

Underwater world is a great family experience and offers a great insight into marine life both inside and out of Australia. The exhibits they have are very interesting and there is a touch and feel tank which gives you a rare opportunity to feel the marine life. The shows they run throughout the day are informative and entertaining. It is a great fun and educational day to take the kids for.

We took our family here whilst on our weekend getaway and we all loved it. There is something for everyone! Hubby was taking pics of all the cool different animals. The bub thought the seal show was hilarious. 6 year old is Shark crazy, so them suckers swimming above us was amazing for him. Our seven year old loved being able to touch the starfish and cucumbers as we first walked in! Great fun!

absolutely love this place and its been revamped .tickets are a bit cheaper if you buy online tho. lots of interesting things for adults even with out the kids walkin price is 435 for adults and $20.70 for kids. or family tickets cheaper. seal island shows where you can sit up top and watch or watch the seals play underwater in the theatre. touch pool where kids can touch starfish,sea slugs and urchins.lots of shows ans exploring to do. the souvenir shop i get lost in lol i love the cuddly animals more than my kids did. easily a whole day out and can go across the road to the shops to eat or a cruise up the river.lots of parking everywhere. wonderful day out with the kids

Visited Underwater World. It was ok but nothing grand. The best was the seal show, the animals and the trainer did really well, worth watching. However, the place is going through reno so some animals were relocated. Overall, I felt it was too expensive for what it had to showcase: 1 croc, oversized fish, a few sharks and stingrays, a few turtles. The variety wasn't grand. I'm sure the kids would like it but it wasn't much to my liking, sorry.

Wanted to go here for quite a while. So on a trip to Caloundra we decided to stop off and pay it a visit.
We were all a little disappointed. The place looks as if it could do with a big injection of money.
The actual aquariums are really interesting and the underwater walk through was brilliant. (Had to go around twice as the kids loved it so much).
We all enjoyed the seal lion show. Wonderful seeing all these creatures and they all looked well looked after too.
Staff friendly and helpful. Really chatty and informative.
The kids enjoyed the touch pool. I touched the sea cucumber and won't be doing that again. Urgh!
Great site shop too. Plenty to see and purchase.
We went mid week and still it was pretty busy with lots of families. So lovely to see the kids reactions to everything.
It cost us adults $35 to enter. Which at first I thought was quite steep but seeing all the work that needs to look after these creatures its wearable.
It just needs some money spent on the place so it can keep up with the modern world idea of entertainment.

This attraction is excellent and offers something for the whole family at reasonable prices. The attractions are at childrens height which is great for children as well and there are seals, otters, sharks, fish, turtles, crabs and everything else to do with the ocean to look at. We came here when our son was about two and a half and decided to take our daughter who is one and a half there after receiving a twenty percent off voucher on the back of a shop a docket. The attraction is undergoing a renovation at the moment (which I am sure is well needed) and we have been given free entry passes to go back in lieu of the renovations. Well Done and we will come again.

Approximate cost: $100.00

We just visited there, it was a good family outing. Can't wait to see the new renovations. Food was terrific in the Cafe.

I took my daughter who was 10 months at the time and 6 year old niece. We all really enjoyed our experience at Underwater world. My favourite part of the day was the seal show (6 year old also really enjoyed this). The layout is good and its easy to find your way around, cafe is avaliable if you want to buy lunch. I found the staff to all be really friendly and helpful, they were also great with the kids and very knowlegble. The fish were really well displayed and lots of variety. Very imformative if you want to learn more and several shows you can attend throughout the day. Great day out for all ages! The only negative is it is a bit expensive but good for a once of experience.

Approximate cost: $30

Underwater World is a place to visit to discover the marine life on the Queensland coast. I only gave 3 stars because i have to queue outside for too long and when i wanted a cup of coffee, the cafe had shut at mid afternoon which should have been open right up near closing time...great facility otherwise...don't miss it!!
