We went to underwater world most recently about two months ago, we just went for the day but have had annual passes before. The kids always have a great day and I love looking at all the fish in the big aquarium. The seal shows are good but I dont like the otters much as they stink, which I suppose is why they are outside! A good place to go with kids, especially when its raining and there isnt many other places like this that are all undercover.

A great family fun day out, the kids love the place, the sharks are their favorite. Very educational and hands on with the touch and feel pool.

The wildlife was very diverse and exciting and the live shows were hilarious and very entertaining, but within an hour we found ourselves with nothing to do. The shark viewing tunnels were under construction, which was quite disappointing as that is perhaps their main attraction. It was an enjoyable experience, but perhaps more suited to families with younger children, otherwise it can be a bit boring.

this is a place that quite often has special deals on annual passes etc. bit dissapointing at the moment as the shark and fish viewing tunnel is not open. they are re doing it and will be well worth it when the new updated tunnel opens.
not really a place to stay all day though. good for a couple of hours.

Underwater world is good value for money, we have had the annual pass before and well and truely got our monies worth. Its great on rainyndays when you have small kids who are going stir crazy at home, because its all undercover and the kids love it

I purchased season passes to Underwater World last year. The kids (aged 5 and 3) adore the place. They find the moving tunnel amazing, and can go around it quite a number of times. We all enjoy the seal show, and touch tanks (containing sea stars and sea cucumbers). I particularly enjoy the frog exhibits, and there are many little posters throughout Underwater World that give extra information about various creatures, coral, etc.
I do think the prices for entry are far too high. I would never go normally, nor would I encourage others to go there, unless they've picked up a shopper docket or discount coupon somewhere. They often have Adults-at-Childrens-Prices type deals - which brings entry down to a more reasonable price. I also think it is looking a bit dated, particularly outside! More new shows would provide more interest to those of us have have been a few times before.
Although I (and the kids) have enjoyed our season passes, I will not be renewing them. Good for a visit though (with a discount coupon)!

a great family day out. the kids loved this expereince, especially the sharks. The attraction was clean, fun and very interactive. Staff were happy to help and very friendly. My kids loved the sharks the most

Great fun for the whole family at Underwater World on the Sunshine Coast. From little kids right up to the grandparents there's something there for everyone. Touch and feel tank, great underwater view of the fish and sharks, the seal show. A great place to spend the day.

Approximate cost: $100

I have just come back from my first holiday with my family and we took the kids there i absolutely loved it and so did my kids ,espicially the seal show and i got a photo taken with a seal kissing my cheek its something you will never get again.The underwater tunnel with the sharks was brilliant and my 3 year old son loved it the whole experience was amazing and the souvineer shop was very good in prices.All the animals were great.

Approximate cost: $80

Underwater world is a MUST SEE when you next visit the Sunshine Coast. The live seal show is worth the price of admission alone, and then there's the amazing marine life scattered throughout the complex.

I loved the shark tank, and the moving walkway makes it easy to see everything in it by just standing still and looking around.

We didn't go for any of the "extras" but they also do a behind the scenes tour, you can have your photo taken kissing a seal, you can swim with the seals and you can even go for a dive in the shark tank (without a cage or glass wall between you and the sharks & rays).

Approximate cost: $30 per adult
