- Tram: Tram yourself to tram-tastic victory! Get off at Stop 2: Melbourne Aquarium/Flinders Street, which is practically on the aquarium's doorstep. Trams 70, 75, and the free City Circle Tram all stop here, making it an easy and budget-friendly choice.
- Train: If you're a trainspotter at heart (or just stranded at a station), fret not! Flinders Street Station and Southern Cross Station are both within a 10-minute walk of the aquarium. Stretch those legs and enjoy a scenic stroll along the Yarra River.
Tip: Download the PTV Victoria app for real-time tram and train timetables. No more waiting at a stop like a lone penguin on an ice floe!
QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.
Taxis and Ridesharing: For the Aquatically Challenged
Maybe public transport isn't your cup of tea (or should we say, tank of water?). No worries, mate! Taxis and rideshare services like Uber and Didi are always an option. Just punch in "Melbourne Aquarium" on your app, and a chariot (or at least a comfy car) will whisk you there in no time.
Tip: Remember, the small details add value.
However, be prepared for traffic, especially during peak hours. You might end up spending more time stuck in a car than ogling at sharks.
Tip: Reread sections you didn’t fully grasp.

Word to the wise: Melbourne weather can be as unpredictable as a seahorse changing colours. Pack an umbrella, just in case!
