Come out of your shell, step into a aquarium keepers shoes and head behind the scenes into the terrapin habitat.

Get up close with this impressive squad of tiny turtles – you’ll be surprised at how quick they can move. After helping our keeper prepare their lunch, you will head into their habitat and be swarmed as they smell the nutritious morsels and arrive for lunch!

The National Aquarium is home to New Zealand’s largest display of aquatic life. Experience stingrays, living coral, a huge range of fish species and native wildlife. Visit Penguin Cove and watch the little penguins swim, feed and play. Spot New Zealand native wildlife including the Kiwi and Tuatara.
