Immerse yourself in the magic of the National Aquarium of New Zealand
We had a great time at the aquarium lived the feeding of the Penguins one of the ladies spoke to us after and was among of information. Also my family from the UK were desperate to see a kiwi and we did. Again the lady at the aquarium was so informative and spent time explaining habits, speed and their programme. You are all doing a fantastic job and are so passionate about your work. Thankyou
I could spend all day at the aquarium. What a wonderful experience. Lots to look at. The information is very easy to read. Highly recommend. Will visit every time I am in 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.

Really lovely experience. The staff were sweet. The animals all look well looked after. The penguin feeding was fun! So many cheeky little friends!
