About

Join HEN at the Sea Life Aquarium, where we will split into different age groups for an educator-led tour, followed by an hour of self-led exploration:

Habitats: ages 5y-8y

Students identify the basic needs of living things and explore several different Australian marine habitats. We will look at the four key variables a habitat needs to support life and observe these in action at our different exhibits.

Adaptations: ages 8y-10y

Students identify the basic needs of living things and their adaptations for survival. We will explore the Aquarium looking at the ways different marine animals have adapted and survived over time.

Extreme Survival: ages 10y-12y

Students are introduced to how animals have adapted for survival in extreme environments in Australia and beyond. They will observe and discuss their observations on the different kinds of marine life they encounter, and how they have adapted to their environment.

⏰️ Each group runs concurrently, and follows the same roster:

• 10.45am: arrive at Batman Park for names to be ticked off & families organised into their groups
• 11am: Be across the road outside the aquarium, for a 2hr educator-led tour
• 1pm: Exit the aquarium & return to Batman Park for a BYO lunch 
• 1.30pm: As a group, return to the aquarium for a 1hr self-led exploration (including access to thr 4D cinema)
• 2.30pm: End of excursion, exit aquarium
