took the kids to this place today in Dandenong!... hand feeding sharks and rays... pretty kewl, to the point that all kids agreed it was awesome.. Spent a fe hours there, they have small tanks up to large tanks you can go in all of them

enjoyment = 10
value = 5.... if it was 1/2 price I'd go more often.

only downer was the cost.. 1 adult - 3 kids $148

Hopefully something the kids will remember for the rest of there lives, money comes and goes.
Just sometimes quicker than we'd like.

Lost,

the family ticket is $94 or similar.

Did you put the kids in the tanks and have to hire wetsuits or was the extra money spent in more food for the sharks and rays?

My son thinks it looks great and I am thinking of taking him on the holidays.

honestly, it is kewl... as I said, not often all the kids agree something is excellent.

Anybody going in the water needs wetsuits or waders ... wetsuit/wader hire is extra. why they dont have that in the price I dont know.  pretty pointless going if you dont go in the water.

that price was no food/drinks for us (they dont have any there, just a coke machine) or the rays extra.. that was just gettin in the door.
then there was the stuffed toys at the end too :(


but you can stay in the water all day if you like.. we did 3 odd hours.

They need to charge that much to cover the insurance...it is in Dandenong after all, you could lose the wheels off your 4by as you drive through.

Given some of the potholes along the Melba highway there, I'm not sure it was altogether the nissans fault.
