I went to this place about 2 weeks ago and I thought I would give people a rundown of what it was like and some information on it.
Location: 20 Divett Street, Port Adelaide, SA
It costs $7.50 for a child and $8.50 for and adult. When you have paid to go in they take you into this room and you have to sit and watch an 8 minute video which is very informative. After that you can go out and see all the animals. It is designed with enclosures running all the way around the walls and in the middle there is a tub that holds Trumpet and a Port Jackson shark which you can pat if she is there, also she has four of them which rotate every day. She lots of pot-bellied seahorses which is the most common animal they have there. They also have the White's seahorse and the knobby seahorse. After seahorse area there is a large tank which holds 2 weedy sea-dragons, there also used to be a leafy sea-dragon until someone took a picture of one using flash and it gulped up air and couldn't get it out even with the help of staff. There is a tank called 'Under the Jetty' which has a lot of junk in it and there is a species of prowfish. (Sorry I forgot which species it was) Next to that tank there is some seastars and some shrimp. The next tank holds port jackson sharks and a couple of species of fish. The last tank holds Port Jackson sharks, A species of stingaree, Old wife's fish and a couple of other fish.
All up it is very good, even though the price is high and there aren't many species on display, it is the closest thing we have to an aquarium in SA so why not use it.
