National Aquarium of New Zealand

Discover an exciting world above and below the water at the National Aquarium of New Zealand. Visit Penguin Cove to watch the Little Penguins feed and play. See stingrays, kingfish, hapuku, snapper, and other majestic native species swimming over you in the oceanarium tunnel. Spot New Zealand's native wildlife - the Tuatara and Kiwi. If you'd like to get up close to our Little Penguins, book a Close Encounter and experience what goes on behind the scenes, learning about the day-to-day care of these character-filled birds and feeding them in their habitat. Terrapin Encounters can also be booked for a unique experience for the whole family. Daily feeding times: 10.00am - reef fish, 2pm - oceanarium, 9.30am, 1.30pm & 3.30pm Little Penguins.
