The Aquarium has a one way self guided tour, spread over four levels.  While visiting these levels visitors come across horseshoe crabs, scorpions and tarantulas in the 'two creepy caves' and a diverse collection of Australian sea jellies. While the theme is that of "Southern Oceans" there are a few exceptions including, a floor to ceiling coral atoll, the mangrove exhibit, the billabong exhibit and the rockpool exhibit. The aquarium is known for its main exhibit, which features huge grey nurse and sandbar whaler sharks, in a large oceanarium containing many diverse species of marine life. Temporary exhibitions also frequently come to the aquarium
