Experience Animal Crossing: New Horizons this Easter! (Reviewed)


REVIEW – We visited SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium before the school holidays wrap up to check out the SEA LIFE Sydney | Animal Crossing: New Horizons adventure!

We’re huge fans of the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game on Nintendo Switch, so we were excited to grab our stamp sheets, start exploring, and spot characters and sea creatures along the way.

We learned lots of sea creatures fun facts from Blathers’ museum signs, found Gulliver, spotted the ‘Fish of the Month’ (Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse), and touched sea creatures in the new rock pools.

We watched Pig the Dugong being fed, explored the sharks at Shark Valley, and admired the King and Gentoo penguins - Mister even took some great shots!

There’s also the Penguin Expedition Boat Ride and VR experience we’ll be back for, plus lots of Animal Crossing character stands, meet-and-greet opportunities with Isabelle, and some cool Animal Crossing merch (plush toys, mugs, stationery, and LEGO) in the merch store. Don’t forget to grab your free postcard after completing your stamp sheet Overall, a great visit!

SEA LIFE Sydney | Animal Crossing: New Horizons is on now until 18th May.
