In the favorite Australian tourist area of the Gold Coast, you’ll find a theme park called Sea World. This widely advertised entertainment complex was opened in 1958 on the coast of Queensland and was originally a center for aqua ballet and water skiing.

However, in 1971, the founders of the park decided to change its entertainment direction, creating a huge artificial lake and populating it with marine inhabitants. Since that time, Sea World has become increasingly popular, delighting its guests with new entertainment and show programs.

Today, here you can get relaxing pleasure from watching tropical fish, observe the life of marine and land animals in conditions close to their natural habitat, as well as recharge yourself with positive emotions.

In Sea World, there is even an outdoor pool, with the stingrays and mantes inhabiting it. Also, everyone can touch and feed small fish, which is especially interesting for curious children.
