AQWA’S SCHOOL HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES
8 December 2003

AQWA – The Aquarium of Western Australia – has some exciting new additions and activities for the January school holidays.

Explore Western Australia's Coastline

Explore 12,000 km of our Western Australian coastline in just a few hundred metres at AQWA.

From the tropical coral reefs of the Far North to the rich kelp beds of the Great Southern Coast, AQWA will take you on an underwater journey to discover the incredible and unique marine life that lives off our coast, including clownfish, playful seals, graceful stingrays and giant sharks. Also, don't miss AQWA's new touch pool, lagoon containing stunning blue spotted stingrays and spectacular Far North coral aquarium full of colourful living corals and tropical fish!

AQWA is open from 10am to 7pm from Boxing Day to Jan 30 (Saturday's open until 5pm).

AQWA Naps

Experience the excitement of sleeping under the sea surrounded by sharks, giant stingrays, turtles and thousands of fish at an AQWA Nap! Children aged between 7 and 12 can sleepover in AQWA's main aquarium and then wake up to breakfast with the seals. Movies, games, a light supper and breakfast are all included.

AQWA Naps held on 6, 13 and 20 January 2004.
Cost: $60 per child ($55 for AQWA Members).

Bookings are essential.
