Parking at Melbourne Aquarium on Flinders Street
There is no public car park onsite at Melbourne Aquarium, at 493-503 Flinders Street, Melbourne VIC 3000. The attraction’s local parking partnership is with Secure Parking at 522 Flinders Lane, approximately 240 metres away (melbourneaquarium.com.au). Discounted parking is listed at $22 on weekdays and $9 on weekends and public holidays (visitsealife.com).
Secure Parking lists early bird parking from $15, a $15 commuter flat rate, a $15 online flat rate, drive-up parking at $15 and hourly parking from $12 at 522 Flinders Lane (secureparking.com.au).

For visitors heading straight to the aquarium, the Flinders Lane facility is the attraction’s named parking arrangement rather than an onsite bay.
Busy Times and Street Parking Around Flinders Street
Weekday parking around the Melbourne Aquarium precinct is more expensive than weekend and public-holiday parking under the attraction’s discounted arrangement, with the listed rates of $22 and $9 respectively (visitsealife.com).
The aquarium sits at 493-503 Flinders Street, while the partnered facility is at 522 Flinders Lane (melbourneaquarium.com.au). Parking on surrounding Melbourne streets is controlled by posted restrictions, paid-parking conditions and clearway or loading rules where signed. Street bays are therefore less predictable than the named car park, particularly when Flinders Street and the waterfront precinct are busy.
