🗣️ Acuario SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton: Opiniones
Experiencia positiva: Kelly's was great as usual but I thought having the photo booth placed in front of Kelly's story was an insult to the great man. Have some respect and move it. EDIT 1/7/25: (From your feedback.)You do a diservice to a great man who gave you jobs. After all his hardwork, you cover his life-story for a few dollars is shameful.
Kia ora Paul, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your visit as much due to some signs having restricted viewing. Rest assured we do have Kelly Tarlton's full story in other parts of the aquarium to shed light on his story. With that being said, we continue to review and upgrade our facility, and your feedback is one of the best contributions to ensure we are taking the right steps to make our guests happy and comfortable. We hope to SEA you again soon :) Ngā mihi nui, SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s
Experiencia positiva: Nice, small aquarium with museum exhibits for exploration and conservation. Numerous activities and opportunities for kids of varied ages. The tanks for various sea life and local fish/eels are beautiful and informative.
Experiencia fantástica: The aquarium is built underground. The features of the aquarium are the Penguins and the moving walkway tunnel. Had a fantastic experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Such a fun and fascinating experience! SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s Aquarium was an awesome visit — great for all ages. The underwater tunnels were a highlight, and it was amazing to see the sharks, stingrays, and penguins up close. Everything was well laid out and easy to navigate.

Experiencia positiva: I live locally but hadn’t been for years due to the price considering it’s very easy to get through without spending more than a couple of hours maximum. I was pleasantly surprised by how many additional exhibits there were, compared to last time I was there. Plus it’s very unique to see the penguins, so overall I felt it was good value for money and well worth the visit

Experiencia positiva: I would recommend this for younger children, especially those in primary school and below. There are interactive activities that will keep them engaged. However, it may not be as appealing for high school-aged kids. Front desk both at entrance and café were amazing and friendly.
Kia ora Siosana, Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us! We're thrilled to hear that you found our aquarium engaging for younger children and that the interactive activities were a hit.

Experiencia fantástica: Such a good visit to learn about sea life. The penguins are so cute. They have a cafe inside. They have talks on certain things in there at times. You have photo oppotunities at a price. Interactive games for the kids. Take your time walking through its over before you know it.
Kia ora Roberta, Wow, thank you for the JAWSOME review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic time exploring the wonders of sea life with us. Aren't the penguins just the cutest?

Experiencia positiva: Decent aquarium with quite a bit of sea life and penguins good but nowhere near as great as the Kelly Tartons in Melbourne
Kia ora Uziah, Thanks for swimming by and sharing your thoughts with us! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed our sea life and penguins. We hope to SEA you again soon for another underwater adventure! Ngā mihi nui, SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's
Experiencia positiva: The place gets very busy on weekends (but where isn’t on the weekends in Auckland ), but my son absolutely loved it! It’s very child-friendly. Although the aquarium is quite small and there isn’t a lot to see, we still had a good time as a family.
Kia Ora Monica, We are pleased to hear you and the family Enjoy your Day out visiting us. Thank you for supporting us and leaving us this Awesome review, we hope you all manage to return in October to Check out what our new zone Sea Cave Adventure Has to offer. Nga Mihi SLKT

Experiencia positiva: The penguins section is really cool. Thr place is smaller than what I thought it should be. If you had been so many aquariums in the world. You may feel disappointed in how small and not in a good layout. Buy the ticket in advance, and then there is no need to wait in the line.
Kia ora Neung, Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the penguins' section, did you know that this we have the largest colony of sub-Antarctic penguins on display in the Southern Hemisphere. It is disappointing to hear that you thought our aquarium was not big enough. Due to our entire attraction being located underground, we do not have the space to expand our aquarium much more. A great way to add time and value to your visit is to listen in to one of our creature presentations that occur almost hourly throughout the day. We hope to SEA you again soon :) Ngā mihi nui, SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s
Experiencia fantástica: Parking here in the wknd? Best to get there early as parking space is limited and it gets quite busy. Pre-booked as I scored a cheaper deal via an online space & to avoid waiting at entry etc. Great space to explore, with fun to fantastic & educational pieces throughout. Bought my food as the menu is few, not to my liking, and pricey. Left with some great memorabilia pieces of soft toys to image captures. It's Kelly's 40th bday #1985
Kia ora Ms “Yo_Muffz”, Thanks a ton for your JAWSOME review! We're thrilled to hear you had a fantastic time exploring all the fun and educational exhibits at Sea Life Kelly Tarlton's.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place for families with young kids. Heaps to do. We made some digital sea animals, played on the playground, identified all the fish and watched the penguin feeding. The cafe has really good coffee and the staff are friendly, served by a woman named Mary who was very kind and helpful. At the end we purchased some toys from the gift shop and the staff gave my son a cute little certificate. Highly recommend Kelly tarltons!

Experiencia positiva: Love coming here with my daughter. It's her favorite thing to do, but I just wish it was more affordable.
Kia ora Samantha, Thank you for the great review, we hope you were able to go home having learnt some new facts about our awesome oceans. Sorry to hear that you found us too expensive – as we are home to thousands of animals, our running costs are very high, and we try our best to limit how much of this is passed on to our guests. Unlike other Auckland attractions, we do not receive any Government funding and so we rely on the proceeds from ticket sales to cover running costs. We do offer a range of discounts if you purchase tickets to more attractions on our website. Ngā mihi nui, SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s

Experiencia positiva: Since 1985... Built in disused sewage storage tanks, the aquarium used a new form of acrylic shaping, which allowed curved tunnels rather than viewing areas with flat panels only, as in previous aquariums...
Kia ora PJ, SMJ & DNJ, Thank you for leaving us such a great review! It's amazing to think about how innovative the design was back in 1985, transforming these old sewage storage tanks into a captivating underwater world with curved tunnels. We're thrilled to hear that you appreciate the unique experience our aquarium offers. We hope to SEA you again soon! Ngā mihi nui, SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's

Experiencia positiva: Great aquarium in Auckland! Had an absolutely great time here exploring the different animals in the aquarium. The museum was reasonably priced, making it a good place to visit as a family. However, I did find the aquarium a little small and in need of a bit of refurbishment. Apart from this, it is still a great place to visit and I would come back!
Hi there! Thank you for the great review! Did you know that the original building where we are located is over 100 years old? Kelly Tarlton himself discovered the space in the early 1980’s and turned an old, abandoned sewer tank into a sparkling underwater world. We think he achieved an amazing transformation and are proud to keep his legacy going all these years later. We can't wait for your next visit! :)
Experiencia positiva: Went for mother's day today. Was all very fun for the family but what made me sad was a shark that was in the tunnel laying against the glass not moving but only breathing. Brought this to the staffs attention who said she was fine just tired but even so there was a lot of people concerned and she really should of been put somewhere else until she was better because she looked genuinely sick and it was sadenning to see her like that.
Kia ora Makenzie, Thank you so much for your visit and for taking the time to share your concerns. We understand how seeing one of our sharks resting in an unusual position, especially lying still or even upside down can be unsettling. We want to reassure you and all our guests that the shark in question is under close observation by our experienced animal care team and specialist veterinarians. This particular species naturally rests on the bottom, especially during the breeding season, and may appear very still while remaining healthy and alert. Though her behavior may seem unusual, it is actually within the normal range for this species. We appreciate your care and concern for her wellbeing. Guest observations are an important part of our community, and we always encourage anyone who notices something they’re unsure about to speak with our team, just as you did. Our top priority is always the health and welfare of the animals in our care, and we remain committed to providing transparency and education about their natural behaviours. If you’d like to learn more about this species and its unique habits, our staff would be happy to chat during your next visit! Ngā mihi nui, SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's
Experiencia fantástica: Awesome place for kids to visit. They loved it.
Kia Ora Pradeep, Thanks for the great review! We hope you were able to go home having learnt some new facts about our awesome oceans! Can’t wait for your next visit Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Team
Experiencia positiva: There is a space near the cafe with a sea level view which is breathtaking, but still there are room to improve, the photo card entitle you to take family photo with different theme background, only found out you have to pay if you want to print that out, the trip last less than an hour.
Kia ora Reckless Gamer, Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the breathtaking sea level view near the café. It's truly a special spot! Your feedback is invaluable, and we'll definitely take it into consideration as we strive to improve our guest experience. We're also sorry to hear that your visit felt a bit short. A great way to add time and value to your visit is to listen in to one of our creature presentations that occur almost hourly throughout the day. We hope to SEA you again soon :) Ngā mihi nui, SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s
Experiencia fantástica: A great family-friendly spot and a must-visit in Auckland! The layout is unique, with moving walkways through the shark tunnel and well-designed exhibits showcasing penguins, stingrays, and all kinds of fascinating sea life. The Antarctic zone with the King and Gentoo penguins was a highlight—it feels immersive and well-maintained. Some areas felt a bit crowded during peak times, and the signage could be clearer in places, but overall it’s a fun and educational experience. Definitely recommend for kids and tourists!
Kia Ora Sabashan, Thanks a ton for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family had a blast at SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium.

Experiencia negativa: Basically hasn’t changed in 20 odd years and yet it’s so friggen expensive! Clean and tidy enclosures and no overcrowding or anything but just so not worth the price, one and done trip I think. Overpriced cafe (typical of places like this) very little seating and the toilets were disgusting.

Experiencia positiva: Simply amazing. Lots of family fun. Nice cafeteria and play area. The dome to view these precious sea creatures is really exotic. Whenever it's raining outside we prefer to visit this aquarium. The Penguins area is also a great attraction.

Experiencia positiva: A Fascinating Underwater Experience at SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium! Visited yesterday and had an incredible time exploring SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s Aquarium! The entire aquarium is uniquely built underground, which adds a special charm to the visit. There's convenient parking right outside, and inside, you’ll also find a cafeteria offering snacks and drinks for a quick break. The main highlight for me was definitely the penguins! They have a large number of them, and the setup is amazing—a cold, snowy environment specially designed to suit their natural habitat. It’s so heartwarming to see them playing around, and you get to observe them really up close! Another standout feature was the moving walkway tunnel—you just hop on and it slowly moves you through an underwater world filled with colorful fish, sharks, and stingrays swimming right above and beside you. It truly gives the sensation of walking under the sea. You’ll also spot crabs, jellyfish, and other marine creatures, each displayed beautifully. It’s a great place for kids and adults alike to learn and enjoy. Suggestions for Improvement: The entry fee is a bit expensive, so it might not be ideal for every budget. I did feel a bit lost in certain areas, so I’d recommend that they provide a map and some guidance on what’s inside at the ticket counter. It would make the visit smoother. Overall, it was an extraordinary experience and a must-visit attraction in Auckland if you're into marine life.

Experiencia fantástica: The underwater tunnel was a truly amazing experience—walking beneath sharks and stingrays was unforgettable. The penguin exhibit was another highlight, offering a rare chance to see these fascinating creatures up close. It’s not the biggest aquarium, but it’s packed with engaging and memorable exhibits. Great for families or anyone curious about ocean life. Highly recommend spending a couple of hours here when in Auckland.
Kia ora Suleman, Wow, your review made a splash with us! We're thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing time exploring the underwater tunnel and getting up close with our penguin pals. We love reading that you and your family had a great time during your visit with us. Thank you for recommending us and we hope to see you again soon. Thanks for the FIN-tastic review! Ngā mihi nui, SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's
Experiencia positiva: I was confused where penguins belong, whether at the zoo or an aquarium, however the aquarium had an Arctic theme so maybe it goes. The house & gear used for Arctic expeditions were not that interesting. There were some interesting creatures, I was awestruck by the jellyfishes, seahorse, turtles & the biggest stingray I have seen. The illusion of 3D water bubbles & the revolving bridge were gr8 added attractions. There were some gr8 interactive screens for children to learn & also a way of providing insights on conservation. Overall a worthy visit.
Kia Ora Shafiq, Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We understand the confusion about the penguins, and we're glad you found the Arctic theme fitting. It's great to hear that the jellyfish, seahorses, turtles, and that impressive stingray left you in awe! We're thrilled you enjoyed the 3D water bubbles and the revolving bridge, as well as the interactive screens for children. Your feedback about the Arctic expedition house and gear is valuable, and we'll definitely take it into consideration to enhance the experience. We hope to welcome you back for another visit soon! Warm regards, The SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium Team
Experiencia fantástica: Lovely little aquarium,nice to see the penguins. Nice tunnel where you can see the rays and sharks swimming. Some good info on Scott too.
Kia Ora Andrew, We at SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s would like to sincerely Thank You for providing us with your much appreciated review and are humbled by your experience. Our hope is to provide our guests with a high quality, memorable experience. From your review it seems that we have checked this off and you have gone home with a FINTASTIC memory of our Aquarium and its animals! Once again, we are Thanking you sincerely, SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s team
Experiencia fantástica: Good place to see marine life and penguines. DO VR experience, its enjoyable. Well managed and efficient place. Parking is ample but almost full all time so you may have to wait sometimes.
Kia ora Vikas, JAWSOME review! It is always so lovely to hear that our guests enjoyed their time with us! Ngā mihi nui, SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's
Experiencia positiva: I had an amazing time visiting here! The layout is fantastic, and the underwater tunnel experience is truly mesmerising…seeing the stingrays and sharks glide above you is something special. The penguin enclosure was another highlight; it’s so well done and gives a real appreciation for these fascinating creatures. The staff were friendly and informative, and the exhibits were clean and well-maintained. It’s a great spot for families, couples, or even solo explorers like myself. If I had one small suggestion, it would be to include a wider variety of fish species. While the marine life on display is impressive, a few more exotic or colorful species would really elevate the experience even further. Overall, it's a fantastic attraction in Auckland and definitely worth a visit!
Kia ora Jayesh, Thanks for the JAWSOME review! We hope you were able to learn some great new facts about our awesome oceans! We also continue to review and upgrade our facility, and your feedback is one of the best contributions to ensure we are taking the right steps to make our guests happy and comfortable.

Experiencia positiva: Was a good experience to see all the wildlife. Favourite part was the penguins. The aquariums were cool but wish there was more, felt a little short lived. Wildlife seemed to be well looked after but did see a shark with a pretty beat up nose, not sure if it was bumping into the walls or not. Overall great experience and looked like wildlife was cared for.
Kia ora Brodie, Turtle-y great review and thanks a bunch for sharing your thoughts with us! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great time exploring the wildlife and that the penguins stole the show for you, they're quite the stars, aren't they?

Experiencia fantástica: So many photos!! It was beautiful. The boys really loved it and it was nice to see some of our sea life closeup x
Kia ora Serenity, Thank you for visiting and taking the time to leave a FINTASTIC review of your visit to SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s.

Experiencia fantástica: Had a great time at SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s! Loved the penguins and the underwater tunnel with sharks and rays. The interactive rock pool was fun too. Great for families and anyone curious about marine life. Worth a visit in Auckland!

Experiencia negativa: This place was really beautiful and a cool experience and I wish I could have given it 5 stars, but I found the trip really disappointing. I found the trip was very misleading with the website and reviews stating it was a 1-2 hour experience for almost $100. There were pictures online that linked directly back to the website with photos of whale sharks and massive sharks and exhibits which weren’t at the venue, on google. And these photos were linked back to the original website so definitely not confused with a different location. On the website it says if you pay online you are charged less for the admission ($33 instead of $42) this wasn’t the case. Which I didn’t mind but just felt like it added to the misleading. In reality it took 20 minutes to see the entire location in depth and was a little shocked when we reached the end for what we paid. Everything else was amazing and the animals were beautiful and healthy, but it did feel like I was mislead and overpaid for the experience.
Kia ora Erica, Thank you for your response regarding your recent visit to Kelly Tarlton’s SEA LIFE Aquarium. Sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your visit. Due to our entire attraction being located underground, we do not have the space to expand our aquarium much more and are not able to house any larger species of aquatic animals. I hope you were able to enjoy all the zones we do have inside the attraction, including the largest colony of sub-Antarctic penguins on display in the Southern Hemisphere as well as New Zealand’s one and only Turtle Hospital! A great way to add time and value to your visit is to listen in to one of our creature presentations that occur almost hourly throughout the day. We also have our knowledgeable staff who are often found throughout the aquarium holding some cool and whacky animal artefacts. Ngā mihi nui, SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's
Experiencia fantástica: A great experience overall! While it’s not as large as the Dubai Aquarium or Marine World in Kerala which I’ve visited before, it’s still a fantastic spot—especially for kids. The penguins are a standout attraction and definitely add to the charm. The sea view dining area is another unique feature that sets this place apart. You can expect to spend about an hour here on average. It’s a good idea to book your tickets in advance to avoid any hassle.
Kia ora Aji, We at SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s would like to sincerely thank you for providing us with your much appreciated review and are humbled by your experience.

Experiencia positiva: Swam with the sharks/stingrays - would of loved more time out in the water. Glad the sharks/stingrays kept coming back and swimming around us. Penguins are very cool and enjoyed the virtual reality (we paid for extra) Also the jellyfish are great to watch. Didn't enjoy the horse cave - hardly any sea horses hope they improve that area... felt very sorry for them.
Kia ora Shelley, Turtle-y great review! We hope you were able to learn some great new facts about our awesome oceans. We thank you for your feedback on our exhibits as well!

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful aquarium with penguins, jellyfishes, sharks, huge stingrays. The highlight is an underwater tunnel where we can watches the stingrays and sharks swim ontop of us. Jellyfishes were another beautiful thing here. Excellent place to visit with family and kids
Kia ora Sajeev, Thank you for the FIN-tastic review! We're so happy to hear you had a splashing good time at our underground aquarium. Your kind words have us floating with joy, and we can't wait to SEA you again soon for more aquatic adventures! Ngā mihi nui, SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's

Experiencia positiva: The place is beautiful i must say. It is quite a drive depending on where you reside. Otherwise for someone like me, visiting. This is a good place to come visit apart from the zoo & museum. Breathtaking from the moment you step inside They have parking area outside the aquarium incase you wondering. But man, it is worth every penny if you planning on visiting. I was fortunate and blessed enought to go there without payment a fee - i have my family there in auckland to thank for. The place is well kept, clean too and just exciting to around really. Enjoyed every part of that aquarium honestly - took so much videos and photos for a lifetime of memories. Good place to visit with friends or families who are visiting nz. Must check-out places in my opinion. Would recommend
Kia ora Krystle, That is such a great review, and we hope you were able to go home having learnt some new facts about our awesome oceans, and the amazing creatures that call it home! Thanks for the JAWSOME review and we cannot wait to SEA you again! Ngā mihi nui, SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's
Experiencia fantástica: Sea Life Kelly Tarlton’s Aquarium in Auckland was an absolute delight during our recent visit! We spent a few hours exploring the well-maintained displays and learning about the fascinating marine life. The adorable penguins were definitely a highlight—their playful antics had us smiling throughout our visit. Overall, it was a perfect way to spend a few hours in Auckland. Highly recommended!
Hi Gypsy Maree, Wow, thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a delightful time at SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium.

Wishing you many more fun-filled days, The SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Team ✨
Experiencia fantástica: Loved the aquarium, all staff (reception, presenters and cafe) were all incredibly friendly and informative and seemed to be happy too which makes the atmosphere very positive. Not a huge aquarium especially compared closer to where I live but still a fair bit to see and loved the jellyfish. I will admit I was here 100% to see the penguins and they did not disappoint. They are so cute, and come right up to the glass so you can get some very cute interactions where they stare right at you. The turtles and stingrays are also amazing, and the huge puffer fish! Would go earlier in the day if you want it to be more quiet, and buying your ticket online saves you a little money (more if you book days ahead). It was certainly getting busier by about 11am.
Kia Ora Rhiannon, Wow, your review just made our day! We're thrilled to hear you had such a fantastic time at SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium. Our team loves what they do, and it's awesome to know that their enthusiasm added to your experience. Thank you for visiting and taking the time to leave a positive review of your visit to SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s. We are happy to see that you had a nice day out and enjoyed coming face to face with some of the creatures of the sea! We hope to SEA you again in the future. JAWSOME review! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Team ✨
Experiencia positiva: We took our overseas friends through today. Many years since my last walk through. I was immediately aware of the small space the animals have and the very loud.. music, piped throughout..mixed with the sounds of people I wonder how stressed the occupants of the displays are under. Now, I clearly am not a fan of animals on display, however I do think the mixed group are cared for; albeit being a little bored of the tight spaces and long term habitats. An experience best for first time visitors. I wouldn't suggest areas being used for noisy children play. Educational videos are good, fortunately with subtitles. Worried for the small turtle who was huddled in the bottom corner of the aquarium ..scared? hurt? Would like to know :)
Kia ora S K, We very much appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We take all enquiries regarding the health and safety of our animals very seriously. Animal welfare is paramount across all our exhibits at SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s Aquarium, and we pride ourselves on providing our aquatic animals with the highest possible standard of care. We hope to see you again and if you would like to discuss this further, please email us at [email protected]. Ngā mihi nui, SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s
Experiencia positiva: The pale lights in the aquarium makes the environment look gloomy. The shark in the hall seems to have wounds on the fin. Please be aware and take good care of the animals! And the photo shooting is kind of a scam. Because you need to pay to print it out, though staffs in the front desk tell you the picture is included in the ticket. Overall, the aquarium looks under weak management and could improve more with such expensive tickets.
Kia ora Hao, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We take all enquiries regarding the health and safety of our animals very seriously. Animal welfare is paramount across all our exhibits at SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s Aquarium, and we pride ourselves on providing our aquatic animals with the highest possible standard of care. The lighting is programmed in a way, as to not be too harsh for our animals eyes, hence why it may seem a little darker in some areas of the aquarium. As for the wounds you mentioned that you found on one of our Sand Tiger Sharks, these are marks from natural mating behaviour! Rest assured the female sharks have thicker skin to handle this period, and although they do sustain some injuries, these injuries are usually superficial and heal over time. As for your photos, there are digital photos that are included in your ticket that you are able to access and download on to your phone. To do this, you just follow the QR code on the card you are given, helping you keep your memories nice and close and easily accessible! We are also sorry to hear that you found us too expensive – as we are home to thousands of animals, our running costs are very high and we try our best to limit how much of this is passed on to our guests. Unlike other Auckland attractions, we do not receive any Government funding and so we rely on the proceeds from ticket sales to cover running costs. We do offer a range of discounts if you purchase tickets to more attractions on our website. Ngā mihi nui, SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's
Experiencia fantástica: Great place for everyone, especially for kids to enjoy watching sea life.
Kia Ora Chamee J! Thanks a splash for your fin-tastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you and the kids had a whale of a time exploring the wonders of sea life with us. It's always our goal to create an ocean of fun for visitors of all ages. We hope to sea you again soon for another adventure under the waves! Wishing you oceans of joy, The SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium Team
Experiencia positiva: The facilities were a tad outdated but we still had an enjoyable time! Randomly, the mini doughnuts from the cafe were great. Disappointing they no longer had a penny press machine. Overall, a very educational experience!
Kia ora Tory, Thanks for the great review! We are sorry to hear you felt that the aquarium was outdated. We have put a lot of resources into renovating the attraction in recent years. Our most recent ones include the Jellyfish area, our Sea Cave Adventure area, and our Rock Pools. With these renovations, it also means we may have to take somethings out such as the penny press machine. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the food from our cafe and hope you were able to go home having learnt some new facts about our awesome oceans, and we can’t wait for your next visit with us! Ngā mihi nui, SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's
Experiencia positiva: Good but a bit expensive for the experience it provides. Interesting place for kids, but Singapore’s is better
Kia ora Supriya, Thank you for your review. Sorry to hear that you found us too expensive – as we are home to thousands of animals, so our running costs are very high and we try our best to limit how much of this is passed on to our guests. Unlike other Auckland attractions, we do not receive any Government funding and so we rely on the proceeds from ticket sales to cover running costs. There are also many amazing SEA LIFE'S across the globe that are awesome, but what sets us apart is that we have the largest colony of sub-Antarctic penguins on display in the Southern Hemisphere, as well as New Zealand’s one and only Turtle Hospital!

Experiencia fantástica: 5/5 stars! Our visit to Sea Life Kelly Tarltons Aquarium was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we stepped onto the illusion walkway, I knew we were in for a treat. The aquarium is home to an incredible array of marine life, and it's clear that the animals are well cared for. What impressed me most was the affordability and excitement of the outing – it's perfect for families with kids! The play area, where kids can burn off energy while parents relax, offers stunning views of the city. The penguin exhibit was a personal highlight – getting up close and personal with these charismatic creatures was a thrill! I also loved the interactive experiences, such as the coloring station where kids can bring their own fish to life on the big screen! The gift shop was the perfect place to pick up some memorable souvenirs – our daughter fell in love with a mermaid stuffed doll, while I treated myself to some beautiful turtle earrings. Overall, Sea Life Kelly Tarltons Aquarium is a must-visit destination for families. The experience is worth every penny – we can't wait to come back!
Experiencia fantástica: Really enjoyed my time at the aquarium! It's always so fun to go on the travellator and just admit the creatures. So much cool information around too to teach you. P.S. these rays cuddling are myself and my partner in another life
Kia ora Belinda, Wow, your review made us smile from ear to ear! We're thrilled to hear you had such a fun time at SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We can't wait to welcome you back for more aquatic fun! Splashing regards, The SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Team
Experiencia positiva: Definitely book in advance at least a day before going to get the discount. Had to wait a little behind a big tour group but that's OK. It has definitely changed for the good since we were there last say 2 years ago. Displays are better and brighter. Good to see some stingrays in their tank. Also good to actually see sharks this time around as well. Much better selection of gifts in the shop as well. However maybe abit more toddler type gifts like cups or bottles would be good to add. Overall happy with this visit and the kids loved their first visit today.
Hi OBM Club, Thanks a ton for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you noticed the positive changes since your last visit and that the displays, stingrays, and sharks made your day. It's fantastic that the kids had a blast on their first visit too! We appreciate your suggestion about adding more toddler-friendly gifts like cups or bottles. It's feedback like yours that helps us improve and cater to all our visitors. We hope to welcome you and your family back for another fun-filled adventure soon!

Experiencia fantástica: Visiting SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium is an unforgettable experience for all ages. From the moment you step inside, you're immersed in the wonders of marine life, with beautifully designed exhibits and interactive displays that capture the magic of the ocean. One of the highlights is the incredible penguin exhibit, which feels like stepping into the Antarctic! Watching these adorable creatures waddle and swim is both entertaining and educational. The Shark Tunnel is another must-see—walking through the curved glass with sharks, stingrays, and other marine life swimming above you is absolutely mesmerizing. The touch pools were a hit with kids and adults alike, giving visitors a chance to get up close and personal with starfish and other fascinating creatures. The interactive educational displays throughout the aquarium are perfect for families, offering fun facts and activities that engage visitors of all ages. The team at SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's deserves a special mention—they’re friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about marine conservation.

Kia Ora Delwyn Fletcher! Wow, your review made us smile from ear to ear! We're thrilled to hear you had such a fantastic time at SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's.

Experiencia positiva: Such a great experience my toddler loved it! Just a side note for the photo experience, it was going to cost a lot to get a printed photo and for those who can't afford it on top of the entrance cost, you can scan the QR code online and actually download 2 photos for free and then print them yourself for less than $5. I know I couldn't justify spending $25-$50 on a photo and then I realized you can get some for free. Just a thought for those who want a nice family photo but can't afford to pay for it :)

Experiencia fantástica: If you are a penguin lover, you should definitely visit this aquarium. There are a lot of King Penguins and Gentoo Penguins. You can watch them pretty closely through the huge windows. There were scheduled feeding for the penguins and the penguins were the most active during the keeper’s talk. Unlike other aquarium, this aquarium has excellent ventilation and air conditioning such that was no unpleasant fishy smell at all.
Hi Anthony, Wow, your review has us waddling with joy! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic time with our King and Gentoo Penguins. It's great to know that you enjoyed the up-close views and the keeper's talk—those penguins sure know how to put on a show, don't they? We're also delighted that you appreciated the fresh atmosphere in our aquarium. We work hard to make sure our guests have a comfortable and enjoyable experience, and it's wonderful to hear that it made a difference for you. Thanks for visiting and for sharing your penguin love with us. We hope to see you again soon for more penguin fun! Warm regards, The SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium Team
Experiencia positiva: This is a good aquarium for children. Lots to entertain them. However, if you are an adult who wishes to learn about New Zealand sea life or sea life in general you’d be better off reading a book and walking the seashore. There is a glaring absence of information of any real value in this aquarium for adults or youths with the slightest amount of knowledge of the natural world. But great for small children and parents of small children or people who just want to look at some fish or jellies or a penguin.
Kia ora TheFolgin, Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We understand your perspective on the educational content for adults and those with a keen interest in marine life. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll certainly take it into consideration as we strive to enhance the experience for all our visitors, regardless of age or knowledge level.

Experiencia fantástica: Genuinely so fun and memorable. Lots of school tours when we visited, so we didnt get to take our time on the last part or so, but it just shows that it's fun for all ages.
Kia Ora MP Jeffrey! Thanks a ton for your awesome review! It's fantastic to know that our aquarium is a hit with visitors of all ages, including those lively school tours!

Experiencia fantástica: Where once the tanks held frozen, deep-sea might, Now vibrant hues ignite, a living light. Kelly Tarlton's realm, a world beneath the waves, A journey through the ocean's hidden caves. From penguins waddling, comical and bold, To stingrays gliding, stories to unfold. The shark tunnel's gaze, a thrilling, silent sweep, Where predators patrol, secrets they keep. The icy Antarctic, a frosted, pristine scene, Where king and gentoo, rulers ever keen, Dive through the water, a ballet swift and bright, A spectacle of motion, bathed in pale light. The ocean's tapestry, a wondrous, vast design, From seahorses swaying, to creatures serpentine. A coral city blooms, with colours rich and deep, Where tiny lives intertwine, while larger hunters sleep. Through glass and water, a magic world revealed, The mysteries of the ocean, gently unsealed. Kelly Tarlton's vision, a legacy so grand, To bring the deep's enchantment to the land.

Experiencia fantástica: We had the best time. The story about how the man who created the place. The sharks and rays swimming over and around us. The turtles, were beautiful. Watching it was relaxing. The penguins were the best. The staff was patient and answered my questions teaching us about the exhibits. Food was really good and decently priced. Down fall #1 to short I could of spent more time there but I guess 4 hours was enough #2 the VR experience I originally thought I was paying for all of the video not 1 of 5 so they was a disappointment.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us, and we hope to see you swimming by again soon for another fin-tastic day! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Team
Experiencia positiva: It is always a great time when visiting. Went in on a weekday, they had a school group attending but it didn't feel overly crowded. Good time for parents to take there bub in as well. Plenty of parking when we arrived midday. Bought tickets online in advance, so an easy scan of QR code and you're away. Give yourself 1.5 - 2.5hr for a leisurely tour of the place, or longer if your staying in and having lunch or buying from the cafe.

Experiencia positiva: Surprisingly great aquarium a little bit outside of town. The bus is very convenient. Recreation of historic research huts, stories about Kelly Tarlton, and lots of up-close access to sea creatures. We went on a whim and really enjoyed it.
Kia Ora Melyssa, Thanks, a splash for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your spontaneous visit turned into such a delightful experience. It's great to know that the convenient bus ride and our unique exhibits, like the historic research huts and stories about Kelly Tarlton, added to your adventure. And of course, getting up close with our sea creatures is always a highlight! We hope to welcome you back for more underwater fun and discoveries. Until then, keep swimming in good vibes! Warm regards, The SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium Team
Experiencia fantástica: I have to visit every time i go to auckland. absolutely love it. If you don’t have the annual pass i recommend buying tickets online as you can save about $10 off the at the door price. Love it, couldn’t recommend more & is better than the sunshine coast sealife as well
Kia Ora Britney, Thank you for visiting and taking the time to leave a positive review of your visit to SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s. We are happy to see that you had a nice day out and enjoyed coming face to face with some of the creatures of the sea! Thank you for recommending us. We hope to SEA you again in the future.
Experiencia fantástica: Amazing experience We had never been in these underwater tunnels before, and seeing the marine life up close like this was worth every penny. The animals are well looked after, and the aquarium is also part of preserving sea turtles Recommend giving yourself time to read all the amazing and educative information. Not only about the animals but also about Kelly Talton. We went as a couple but can also recommend fot families.
Kia Ora Linea, Wow, your review made a splash with us! We're thrilled to hear that you had an amazing experience exploring our underwater tunnels and getting up close with our marine life. It's fantastic to know that you appreciated our efforts in caring for the animals and our work with sea turtle conservation. Thanks for the tip about taking time to soak in all the information about the animals and Kelly Tarlton. We're glad you found it both amazing and educational. Whether it's a couple's day out or a family adventure, we're delighted to be a part of your memorable moments. Hope to see you swimming by again soon! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Team
Experiencia positiva: Coming from dubai to NZ and ending up here feels as if you are at the wrong place. now those who have experienced the same can relate. Anyhow, i loved the place, especially the penguins, as this was my first time seeing them so close. And well the staff here are very cordial. The only sad part is that this place stunk. Just couldn't tolerate it for a long time. And then, as there is a small food court inside to sit and dine in, it can get difficult if you are sensitive to such an unpleasant smell. Except for that, obviously, everything else was superb. There are professional photographers in here who will take your pics, and you need to pay then in order to secure the hard as well as soft copies. Overall, it is a good place to spend time with family, especially the kids will love this place for sure. I visited here on a weekend that was Saturday afternoon. There were moderate visitors.
Kia Ora JJ Fernandes, Thanks a ton for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you loved the penguins and found our team to be cordial. Penguins do have a way of stealing the show, don't they? We do apologize for the unpleasant smell you encountered. Fish unfortunately aren't known for their pleasant smells, and a combination of that and penguin poo can make for quite a different sensory experience! That said, we thoroughly clean all areas of the attraction throughout the day and hope that you were able to enjoy all the wonderful sea creatures regardless of any smell. It is disappointing to hear that you thought our aquarium was not big enough. Due to our entire attraction being located underground, we do not have the space to expand our aquarium much more. I hope you were able to enjoy all the zones we have inside the attraction including the largest colony of sub-Antarctic penguins on display in the Southern Hemisphere as well as New Zealand’s one and only Turtle Hospital! However, it's great to know that you and your family had a fun time overall, and that the kids enjoyed it too! We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon. Take care and safe travels! Best, The SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium Team
Experiencia fantástica: Although I have visited many international aquariums, there is something special and truly unique about this venue. My 8-year old son recently went for the shark cage experience with my partner and had a blast. They have only recently begun to allow children into the shark cage experience provided they are over 130cm tall with a supervising adult. If your child is a strong swimmer and comfortable in a wetsuit and snorkel, this is a truly unique experience. They have a ‘shark cage’ which has a Perspex floor and fish net walls which they move along the length of their shark tank. The ‘shark cage’ only serves as protection for the sharks against the humans since the sharks are completely docile and well adjusted to visitors. The experience is sadly very short but at least it is very affordable. Although it is advertised as a 1-hour experience, it only entails about 20 minutes in the ‘shark cage’ for about $90 per person. It includes the rental of wetsuits and snorkel, although my son and partner used their own. I’d encourage anyone who has a child fond of sharks to get in on this experience before it becomes cost prohibitive. Lastly, remember to pack a lunch picnic since this is one of the few private venues which allow and encourage their attendees to bring their own food. Their cafeteria is simply not designed to cope with the volume of guests that typically have, especially on weekends. So avoid the queue and save some money with your own food. There are multiple exhibits which are regularly maintained and there is clearly some effort to improve the facility. The penguins are truly adorable. The jellyfish are stunning. Many improvements are in progress and I hope to see them evolve and continue to grow.
Hi there Helene, thank you so much for visiting and taking the time to leave a positive review of your visit to SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s. We love reading that you and your family had a great time during your visit with us. I am also delighted to read that your son enjoyed his Shark Cage Snorkel experience! Thank you for recommending us and we hope to see you again soon.
Experiencia positiva: My first time visiting with my mom and baby girl. Love that the aquarium is pram friendly and that it has a parents room where I could change and feed my baby. The sea life displayed is beautiful and everyone was friendly and professional. Took 1.5-2 hours for the whole experience.
Thank you for visiting and taking the time to leave a positive review of your visit to SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s. We love reading that you and your family had a great time during your visit with us. We can’t wait to SEA you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: Amazing place. Fascinated with the jellyfish. Penguins, turtles, rays, seahorses, puffer fish and more. Definitely worth a visit when in Auckland.
Kia Ora Christine! Wow, your review made us smile from fin to flipper! We're thrilled to hear that you had an amazing time exploring the wonders of SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium. Those jellyfish sure know how to put on a mesmerizing show, don't they? And it sounds like you met quite the aquatic crew with our penguins, turtles, rays, seahorses, and puffer fish! Thank you for recommending us as a must-visit spot in Auckland. We can't wait to welcome you back for more underwater adventures. Until then, keep swimming in the sea of memories! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Team
Experiencia fantástica: Our son loves going here with our annual pass. He loves the penguins, bubble tank, turtle tank, playground, going around and around through the shark tunnel and touching the starfish. Great way for us to start the weekend When he gets older he'll probably appreciate the kids room and the other part of the playground
Kia Ora Robert, Wow, it sounds like your son is having an absolute blast at SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium! We're thrilled to hear that the penguins, bubble tank, and turtle tank are such big hits, and that the shark tunnel and starfish touch pool are part of your weekend fun. It's fantastic to know that our playground and exhibits are creating such joyful memories for your family. As your son grows, we're excited for him to discover even more of what we have to offer, like the kids' room and the rest of the playground. Thank you for being part of our SEA LIFE family with your annual pass. We can't wait to welcome you all back for more adventures! Wishing you many more fun weekends ahead! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Team
Experiencia positiva: Animals look well cared for and happy. Venue itself was clean and well maintained. Entry price is steep when compared to Auckland Zoo which is bigger and has more variety. Cafe was also super expensive.
Kia Ora Semesi, Thanks a ton for swimming by SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium and for sharing your thoughts with us! We're thrilled to hear that you noticed how well-cared-for and happy our aquatic friends are, and that you found the venue clean and well-maintained. We take great pride in ensuring a top-notch environment for both our animals and visitors. Thank you for your feedback regarding our pricing. Kelly Tarlton's, similar to Auckland Zoo as you mentioned, has high operating costs due to our care of the animals, which is the cornerstone of our operation. Auckland Zoo is a council-owned, not for profit entity, with significant grants which subsidise their ticket prices. Kelly Tarlton's is a private organisation, and our sole source of income comes from admissions, which dictates our pricing levels. Regarding your comments about our penguins, we are regularly audited both internally and externally. Thank you for your comments. Ngā mihi nui, SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s We hope to welcome you back for another underwater adventure soon! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Team
Experiencia fantástica: As good as I remembered, 15 years ago as a kid. Would recommend increasing parking spots
Kia Ora Albert, Wow, it's fantastic to hear that your visit brought back such wonderful memories from 15 years ago! We're thrilled that SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium still holds a special place in your heart. Thank you for recommending us and for your suggestion about increasing parking spots. We always appreciate feedback that helps us improve the experience for our visitors. We hope to see you swimming by again soon for more aquatic adventures! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Team
Experiencia fantástica: Such a great experience, and very reasonably priced for what you get to experience - definitely doesn't disappoint. I thought I might have 'overinflated' how good it was in my memory from 20 yrs ago, but it really was even better. Do not miss this place - 100% better value than the Sky Tower (for the price and amount of tourists, don't bother - just do Kelly Tarltons instead). Tip - go as soon as it opens for a really unhurried, relaxed experience without many people. When we left, there were huge lines, and when we arrived at opening time, there was maybe a 10min wait, max.
Kia Ora Trudi, Wow, thank you so much for your fantastic review! We at SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s would like to sincerely Thank You for providing us with your much appreciated review and are humbled by your experience.

Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Team ✨
Experiencia positiva: Short and sweet outing, not too expensive. Think the tanks and homes could be slightly bigger but seems like the animals are well looked after. Nice view of the city while having a bite to eat. Decent place for a kids day out, parking was easy and free too.
Thanks for the great review! We hope you were able to go home having learnt some new facts about our awesome oceans! Can’t wait for your next visit
Experiencia fantástica: As a family we absolutely enjoyed going through Kelly Taltons Aquarium in Auckland. Very memorable holiday.
Thank you for visiting and taking the time to leave a positive review of your visit to SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s. We love reading that you and your family had a great time during your visit with us. Thank you for recommending us and we hope to see you again soon.
Experiencia positiva: Surprisingly good. Great layout and service throughout. I thought it would be average after visiting Singapore Aquarium. But this was a good attraction for Tāmaki
Thank you for leaving such a great review! Our hope is to provide our guests with a high quality, memorable experience. From your review it seems that we have checked this off and you have gone home with a FINTASTIC memory of our Aquarium and its animals! We hope to SEA you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: Booked tickets online - no waiting to get in. Lots of learning, great range of animals and fish. Great to hear that many are injured and being rehabilitated. Staff on hand informing about the process and the story behind the sea life in the tanks. Kids loved it ..... I only manged 55 seconds in the ice water test
Kia Ora Matt G! Thanks a splash for your fin-tastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you and the kids had a whale of a time at SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium. It's awesome that you appreciated the learning experience and the stories behind our sea life friends. Our team loves sharing the journey of our rehabilitated sea creatures, and we're glad you found it interesting. Kudos on braving the ice water test—even 55 seconds is impressive! We hope to see you and your family back for more underwater adventures soon. Until then, keep swimming with curiosity! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Team
Experiencia positiva: SEA LIFE is an absolute must-visit in Auckland! The highlight for me was the underwater tunnel, where sharks and stingrays glide right above your head—such an incredible experience! The penguin enclosure is another standout, offering a close-up view of King and Gentoo penguins in a well-maintained, icy habitat. The aquarium is also home to fascinating marine creatures like jellyfish, and sea turtles, and an interactive rock pool where you can touch starfish! The staff are knowledgeable and passionate about marine conservation, which adds an educational touch to the visit. While it’s not the biggest aquarium, it’s packed with engaging exhibits, making it perfect for families and anyone who loves ocean life. Highly recommend!
