Frommer's Review
The Melbourne Aquarium stretches over three levels and features a Barrier Reef-type exhibit, some interesting jellyfish displays, and an enormous walk-through tank with larger fish, sharks, and rays. There are dive-feeding demonstrations at 10:30am and 2pm. It is not as big or flashy as Sydney's aquarium, but is still worth a look. You can also arrange to dive with the sharks for A$242 (US$218/£109) for qualified divers or A$349 (US$314/£157) for nondivers. Booking are essential for this; call tel. 03/9510 9081.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
