We enjoyed our time at Kelly Tarlton's. We haven't been for a while and it is also the first my son to visit. It has changed a lot since we visited. We love it is more interactive now, and the VR is just amazing! My daughter loved it! Booking it through Bookme was a score! Saved us $$ in this economy! definitely we will be back again!
A little cramped for school holidays with pensioners everywhere but if you can get over the traffic inside its a very nice space inside that's engaging all over. Unfortunately the touch pools were closed and that was what my child was most keen on doing, but other than that it was a great place to make memories.
Expensive merch. Bought the photo, but first come with any card backing or sleeve e. Just the photo put in a brown paper bag.
It is a decent one. If one has experienced Sea Life in Singapore, Thailand, and Australia then this would feel ok.

Wonderful
I took my four year old grandson. Was educational and a great variety to see and do. We both enjoyed our visit but were both sad to see penguins living in such closed conditions. Hopefully they were all born into captivity and know no other life...
