Marine Discovery Centre
Our indoor Marine Discovery Centre showcases the world of the Bunbury Dolphins, their marine friends and environment. Learn and immerse yourself in an underwater world on this self-guided tour. With an expanded range of themed fish, 14 tanks and aquariums and our amazing 360-degree Digital Dolphinarium, as well as an interpretation of Koombana Bay and its history – geological, indigenous, marine and contemporary. Ticket is valid for the whole calendar day (9am-3pm). Also available as a Gift Card or Annual Passes.
Our Centre is an immersive experience, with activity centres, interactive displays, feeding sessions that appeal to all age groups and is wheelchair accessible. The aquariums tell the story of our region from freshwater river to offshore reef and feature the marine plants and animals of our temperate zone. The Centre provides a unique experience that uses embedded technology along with natural displays to create a memorable experience for visitors that complements the wild dolphin experience of our Beach Interaction Zone and Dolphin Tours. Octopus, Nemo & Dory, Sharks and Friends are awaiting your visit.
Our Annual Pass offers the greatest savings for repeat visitors. Available for Adults ($50), Child ($25), Concession ($30), and Families ($100, a family is 2ad/2ch) for one year of unlimited entry.
Please note we do not keep dolphins in captivity – you can experience wild dolphins in our free Dolphin Interaction Zone at the beach or on our Dolphin Eco Cruise or Dolphin Swim Tour.
