We had a great time looking at the various seasoned and enjoyed looking at the penguins, turtles, jellyfish and lots of fish in the tunnel.
SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s is a fantastic place to explore marine life. The underwater tunnel with sharks and stingrays was stunning, and the penguin enclosure was a real highlight. Everything is well-organized, interactive, and fun for all ages. A must-visit in Auckland!
No one mentioned or reported to us that the place will be closing earlier than usual days. Very upset. We are paying from our pocket and would like to have full enjoyment. Was not able to fulfill our desire. Very disappointed.
Never been there before, was worth seeing fish in their inhabitance. Thank you for the experience
