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.
