It’s official – this year’s cutest, very best penguin as voted by the National Aquarium of New Zealand’s followers, is Captain.
Now we’re in COVID-19 Alert Level 1, we’re pleased to advise that shark feeding in the main oceanarium recommences for visitors to enjoy every day at 2pm, along with our interactive activities available throughout the aquarium. Bookings are also open for our popular Little Penguin Close Encounters. Bookings for these encounters are essential and can be made through our website. As always, the safety and wellbeing of our customers, team members and communities continues to be our top priority. We want to assure you that we’re taking the necessary precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 as outlined in the Ministry of Health and government guidelines. We look forward seeing you soon.
Want to visit the National Aquarium whenever you like? Then why not become a Friend of the Aquarium, pay once a year, and save! That's right, being a Friend means you can visit every day and we'll also keep you informed about special events and occasions. Your one-off annual fee will be paid off in just three visits.
