Kids Go Free at Kelly Tarlton’s this Sunday!
Kids go free this Sunday [8th March] in celebration of Kelly Tarlton’s SEA LIFE Aquarium’s 30thAnniversary! Come and explore the iconic Auckland waterfront attraction with the whole family and say hi to all of your favourite creatures.
The recently opened Shipwreck Shores playground is sure to spark imaginations, with a soft play area where adventurous youngsters can sneak a peek at a hidden fish tank, a chill out zone, exciting splash table, and for those brave enough a seacave crawl lit with secret lighting to guide their way!
Situated right next to the Stingray Bay, Shipwreck Shores is the perfect spot to nab the best view of one of the two Stingray feedings daily and watch Phoebe the resident Stingray swim majestically through the water.
The famous Shark Tunnel is a must-see, with shark feeding taking place for the first time on weekends! Try and spot Wobby the Wobbegong Shark hiding in the dark and around the corner rescued turtles can be seen zooming through the water! It’s also a must to explore Seahorse Kingdom and see the world’s only Spiny Sea Dragons on display.
Walk through the Antarctic Ice Adventure, where you will fall in love with the cute newborn King Penguin chicks.
There’s so much to see, so why not bring the kids down to learn all about the wonders of the underwater world for FREE!
