J'étais venu il y a 10 ans et ça a beaucoup changé, j'apprécie toujours le tunnel des requins et des raies, le bassin a l'entrée avec les tortues et les pinguins vraiement en grand nombre et si photogénique. Mais l'espace c'est rétrécie il n'y a plus le bassin du béluga peux être à cause des inondations de juillet ou de la tempêtes. On ne rentre plus chez les pingouins je pense pour les préserver. Du coup les espaces sont remplacer par beaucoup de panneaux pour expliquer et responsabiliser les petits enfants et des jeux. A faire seulement avec des enfants en bas âge beaucoup d'amusements et de découvertes pour eux.

Fun Family Day
It’s good for a small country like New Zealand. If you’ve been to Singapore, USA etc and other countries with aquariums it’s going to look very small. There were people there not wearing masks and coughing close to my baby during red level when Omicron is in the community so it’s not recommended during this time as it’s in a small enclosed space. My baby enjoyed it.

On entrance the lady touched my phone fiddling with it trying to show me a booking page without asking in which ended up seeing things she shouldn’t have. Worst customer service ever

All hype
Really grateful that we didn't pay for this experience. Maybe it's because I'm an adult now or because I'm not getting a day off school... but I remember it being better as a kid. Underwhelming, especially at $41 for an adult.
