It was so good been back to visit, some changes over past 6 years, do like the new Virtual Reality setup for kids to enjoy. definitely recommend visiting, especially with kids, keeps them busy for a while
It’s a great day. My son is enjoyed the day.
The first time I've taken the grandchildren. The penguins were partially blocked off which was a huge disappointment and the windows were crowded. The shark tunnel conveyor belt stopped working. Shame. I love kelly Tartins but I found this experience alot of money for the time we had in there.
To narrow to walk with a pram , needs new paint , new bright fish , the place was a dive like a dark narrow dungeon.

Gets better each time
Took our visiting Australian guests who absolutely LOVES it and so if I even though I’ve been many times. It has improved since the last time I went and I really recommend it for all ages, all interests. One of my favourite Auckland attractions and this recent visit did not disappoint!
