Great experience with friends

Great outing for holidays. The aquarium offers interactive activities for children and it was awesome to watch the feeding session.

National Aquarium Napier

Napier Aquarium is a pleasant place, but we felt the experience was quite limited with only a small number of attractions. Unfortunately, the lift was not working during our visit, and there wasn’t a clearly designated space for breastfeeding or feeding parents, which would have been helpful for families with young children. Given the limited offerings, the ticket price felt a little high. With a few improvements, it could be a more family-friendly experience.
