SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium is one of Auckland's most iconic marine attractions, located just outside the CBD on the Tamaki Drive waterfront and open since 1985. The aquarium is home to thousands of marine animals across hundreds of species, including sharks, stingrays, sea turtles, seahorses, jellyfish, and the Southern Hemisphere's largest sub-Antarctic penguin colony. Visitors can walk through spectacular underwater viewing tunnels, experience the thrilling Shark Cage Snorkel, meet penguins up close through the Penguin Passport encounter, and explore over 30 live animal exhibits. As New Zealand's only Turtle Rescue Centre, SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's is deeply committed to ocean conservation through its partnership with the SEA LIFE Trust charity.
