THE best aquarium I have ever been to! It's so clean , the staff are friendly and the exhibits are absolutely amazing!

Dalton Boatman

Despite the size, it's a full aquarium with a fantastic shark tunnel ! Loved the 'Behind-the-scenes' tour . Lots of great information on display.

Kath Read

Fantastic! Super cute penguins. Loved the shark aquarium mostly for the sting rays. And they have a very curious octopus !

Gabriela Nunes

Loved to stay a day here. Kids want to celebrate birthday here!

Cameron Gidari

The shark tunnel alone is worth the price of admission. We spent half an hour at the penguin exhibit .

Lewy Jones

Grab a little stool before you get to the travelator (if you have a little one who might struggle to see over the rim)

Abhinav Gujuka

Shark cage experience is awesome along with other attractions .

Jonathan Pedrotti

Good aquariums with tropical fishes and scenic walk under the sharks and tuna fish . A lil too expensive though.

Andrew Spear

If you have kids don't miss the animal costumes behind the giant shark mouth :)

Established by extraordinary Kiwi adventurer, diver and explorer Kelly Tarlton, you can hand feed a giant stingray and get up close to sub-Antarctic penguins.

Steven Harrison

Make sure you stick your hand into the ice cold Antarctica water for 30 seconds. I nearly died when the time was up!

David Ong

Alkiviades Spandagos

Tiny space but a lot to learn here. Should come

Mike Watt

Make sure you go on the Penguin Ride and check out the new Seahorse Kingdom exhibit .

David Maurice

Poor Catering facilities and not many tables either. Overall it was a fun day but won't rush to go again. The Scott hut replica is well worth seeing though.

Zoe L.

Small but comprehensive facilities. Not too bad. Advice - buy tickets online to avoid the queue.

Michael Caruana

tix can be an hour queue, book online and walk straight thru, with 10% discount too!

Georgia Mackay
