An Evening of Shark Discovery

Overview

There's something incredibly captivating about sharks. They're the subject of plenty of thrilling Hollywood blockbusters, the source of much debate and fear, and are undeniably majestic as they cut through the ocean. But, it's not often you have the chance to get up close and personal with the apex predators of the sea. Sea Life Sydney, however, is letting you do just that at its Evening of Shark Discovery — from a safe spot behind the glass, of course.

On Wednesday, February 26, head to the aquarium after hours where you'll hear from three shark and wildlife experts, before witnessing an action-packed nocturnal feed of the green sea turtles, black and white tip reef sharks and sawfish at the Day and Night on the Reef exhibition.

Explore the aquarium without the crowds from 6pm, before talks from zoologist and lead scientist of Sharks and Rays Australia (SARA) Barbara Wueringer, Emmy-nominated underwater cinematographer Jon Shaw and conservation biologist and behavioural ecologist Adam Stow. The three will be discussing Australians' attitudes towards sharks and how important the animals are to the future of our oceans.

Tickets are $65 and include an alcoholic beverage and a $10 donation to Sea Life Trust and SARA.

An Evening of Shark Discovery runs from 6–8.30pm.
