Mum is visiting NZ for the second time and we had the opportunity and to take her to see the pingüins, she loved it and all the aquarium experience
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.
We purchased the after 3pm entry for $20.50 and was stoked to get great discount and as always, great experience.

Awesome
Had the best time today at Kelly Tarltons. It was so clean even right down to the bathrooms that we used. The staff were all friendly. The activities they had for my 4 year old was great. He had the best day and his favorite part was creating his own fish and then seeing it come to life on the big screen. I also loved how I got free digital copies of our photos that we took upon arrival. Love the different range of activities and things to see for the kids. Have made some wholesome memor today. Thank you so much
