Canberra Marine

Last updated February 2026

Canberra Marine is a specialty aquarium store and display located in Fyshwick, one of Canberra's industrial suburbs about 10 minutes from the city center. The venue features an extensive collection of marine and freshwater fish displays, along with coral tanks and educational setups that showcase different aquatic environments. Visitors can observe tropical fish, marine invertebrates, and various freshwater species in well-maintained display tanks. The knowledgeable staff often provide informal talks about marine life and aquarium care, making it both educational and engaging for families. **What to Bring** Camera for photos of the colorful displays. Comfortable shoes for standing and walking around the tanks. **Best Age Range** Best for ages 4-12 who are fascinated by fish and underwater life. Younger children enjoy the bright colors and movement, while older kids can learn about different species and marine ecosystems. **Good to Know** Free street parking available on Isa Street. No booking required, just drop in during business hours. This is primarily a retail store with displays rather than a traditional aquarium attraction. Best visited on weekdays when it's quieter and staff have more time to chat about the displays. **Tips From Other Parents** Visit during weekday mornings when the fish are most active during feeding times. Ask the staff questions about the different species — they're usually happy to share interesting facts that kids love hearing.
