Overview

This World Oceans Day, the National Zoo and Aquarium welcomes you to learn about the ocean, the human impact on this special ecosystem and how you and your family can make mindful decisions next time you head to the beach.

Take on the Aquarium quiz and discover life underneath the water, and learn terrific facts as well as a special lucky door prize for their brand new Shark and Ray Encounter.

All the activities are free with admission and memberships.

There's so much fun to be had at the National Zoo and Aquarium, Canberra's 'Centre of Adventure'.
