    Peak season vs Low season

    Given that the aquarium is an indoor attraction, you can visit at any time of the year without having to worry about the weather. In terms of peak season in Australia, December through February is the busiest time in the country. Given that it is Summer/Spring, you will see tourists flocking in to enjoy the pleasant weather and activities. However, if you prefer a less crowded experience, without having to sacrifice on the weather, November or March is the best time to visit.
