Great afternoon

The building looked small from the outside but once you enter then there is so much to see. We spent a couple of hours there and would encourage other visitors to Napier to do the same.

Fantastic Venue!!

Awesome venue had the delight to see so many species being fed. Great variety which was unexpected but so amazing!! Staff are approachable but best part for hubbie was sting rays being fed by a diver and for me was being so close to a large kiwi bird i was so excited!! The penguins are an absolute delight!!
