Fantastic

This was our first visit to Napier and the aquarium, and it was a great experience. We got to watch a fish-feeding session, and the divers were incredible. There was a good range of animals, each with informative displays. It’s a fantastic spot for kids—my son absolutely loved it. Definitely worth a stop.

Amazing relaxed atmosphere

when you enter and have already booked by book me it just gives you the right amount of time to get in and walk around. When the animals will be fed the divers make a show of it and all the different animals are taken care of. The kiwi's were very active this time so it was fun seeing them around.
