The Aquarium of Western Australia

The Aquarium of Western Australia opened in 1988 as the largest aquarium in the country. It is located in Hillarys and still has the distinction of having the largest aquarium tank in the country as well as the country’s longest walk-through aquarium tunnel. The original two exhibits were the walk-through tunnel now called Shipwreck Coast and the interactive touch pool. Since it opened in 1988, it has expanded to include nearly 50 exhibits in what is today among the top 10 aquariums in the world by size. The aquarium’s specialty is marine animals that live in the water along Australia’s western coast, which is divided into five geographic regions, with exhibits containing animals typical of each region.
