Kelly Tarlton's Sea Life Aquarium

Nice place to take your kids during school holidays or even people visiting Auckland for the first time. My ten year old wants to go there for almost every school holiday. Slightly high price wise but it is an awesome experience.

Great day out with the kids, the underwater tunnel is just fantastic and the penguins are very cute (but a bit stinky). A bit pricey though, so see if you can get a coupon or online deal.

I totally agree that the cost of going is very expensive. We are a family of four and were able to attend as i got a voucher via our flybuys. So that was great, i dont think we would have attended if i had to pay retail.
However a good experience for the children.

I have been here many times when in school trips and family. I have seen increase in cost and cafe as well. Buying online may save you some money or if you grab a deal site one. Educational and still has Robert Falcon Scott base one he didn't use much.

Great for a visit. Brought a few friends from overseas for a look around. If you’ve been once, you’ve pretty much seen it all (as an adult). But the kids really enjoy it over and over again.
