The beautiful and majestic creatures of the deep blue are being brought to Dandenong, Australia.
Australia Shark and Ray Centre is not your average aquarium. It focuses mostly on the smoother, bottom-dwelling salt water fishes - sharks and rays. They are a place of fun for the whole family, allowing you to feed, touch, and even wade with these alluring animals. Australian Shark and Ray Centre houses over 25 species in each of its three locations. Below are photos of a few species they have available for public interaction.
