Family visit
After reading a lot of mixed reviews, we decided to give Kelly Tarlton's a go and am so glad we did. The whole family loved it and the staff were really friendly and knowledgeable.

Kelly Tarltons
Had an awesome day out with my grand children, the experience they had was totally unbelievable and they enjoyed every minute. The only down fall is being cashless. I had eftpos but I’d rather use cash than my card. Thank you for the wonderful day out.

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!

To narrow to walk with a pram , needs new paint , new bright fish , the place was a dive like a dark narrow dungeon.

Kelly Tarlton's still awesome
After 17yrs since my last visit - we all thoroughly enjoyed our visit yesterday 16/10/2025. Kids weren't sure but very quickly changed their minds. Us adults even gave the VR experience a go as well and loved it too.
