Melbourne Aquarium - Conference Dinner Venue

Cnr Flinders Street & King Street
Melbourne, Victoria

Dinner guests will enjoy pre-dinner drinks and canapes with the penguins in the brand new Antarctica Exhibit, followed by a delicious 2 course dinner in the Coral Atoll.

The stunning floor-to-ceiling Coral Atoll at Melbourne Aquarium exposes guests to the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef, with hundreds of beautiful tropical animals creating a bright, vibrant display.

Antarctica is Melbourne Aquarium's amazing new functions space and it is a completely unique experience.  Dinner guests will be among the pristine backdrop of snow and ice, while experiencing the playfulness of Australia's only collection of Antarctic penguins. 

The Gentoo Penguins are cheeky and feisty with curious and outgoing personalities, while the King Penguins are regal, majestic and mesmerising animals to watch.
