Sydney Aquarium
Sydney Aquarium lies to the eastern edge of Darling Harbour and closer to the heart of the city, is one of Sydney’s most accessible popular attractions. The Aquarium has more than 650 species comprising more than 11,000 individual fish and other sea and water creatures. The Sydney Aquarium is dedicated to the animals welfare and it is for that reason the Aquarium does not support the notion of animal shows, in particular performances and feeding times. Some animals are trained by keepers, but it is for animal husbandry purposes only. Similarly, animals are fed when needed, not according to a time table. At different times of the year, animals’ food intakes can change.
