Guests enjoyed a party atmosphere, including a lucky dip for each guest on arrival, party hats, as well as the chance to purchase a limited edition souvenir booklet and enjoy a commemorative video celebrating 25 years of operation.
Marty Garwood, aquarist at Sea Life Sydney Aquarium reflected on the achievements of the attraction and said: “Looking back over 25 years, it’s impressive to conceive that over 140,000 animals and almost 1,000 newly born babies have called Sea Life Sydney Aquarium home – additionally, 39 penguin chicks have been successfully raised, 20 weddings have taken place and almost 30 million visitors have been educated by visiting the attraction.
“There are also four animals that have been at the attraction since day one, including two lungfish and two Grey Nurse Sharks”.
Darling Harbour Alliance spokesperson, Tim Andrews, said Sea Life Sydney Aquarium was one of the world’s best underwater attractions and a major Australian tourist destination, for both local and international visitors.
"Australia’s marine life is unique and of great interest to the rest of the world. Sea Life Sydney Aquarium is a first-class facility and brings a huge number of tourists to Darling Harbour precinct each year," Mr Andrews said.
"The Darling Harbour Alliance congratulates operators Merlin Entertainments Group on 25 fabulous years and we look forward to a very exciting future as the precinct undergoes the major transformation with the new International Convention Centre."
