It’s a summer of unmissable fun across Merlin Entertainments’ Sydney attractions! In the iconic Darling Harbour precinct, SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium, WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo, Madame Tussauds Sydney, and Immersive Game box deliver everything from underwater wonders and iconic Aussie wildlife to world-famous celebs and immersive digital adventures. With so much to explore, all just moments from the heart of the CBD, there’s something to excite every member of the family.

Plus, for this summer only, SEA LIFE Sydney will welcome a very special guest! Join SpongeBob, Patrick and the gang on an epic journey beneath the waves as they venture into the ocean’s mysterious depths to face the ghostly Flying Dutchman! To celebrate the theatrical release of The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, in cinemas on Boxing Day, the entire family can take on seven swashbuckling challenges in the aquarium, from solving riddles and spotting jellyfish to discovering your pirate name – all in pursuit of earning your very own Swashbuckler Certificate.
