Took a friend and her daughters along and we all had a great time. Lots to oooh and AAAHHHH about. Though my friend and I were mostly hungrily admiring the snapper, tuna and trevally swimming around. The big scary sand sharks provided much amusement as they casually glided over the dome and at times catching the girls by surprise! The seahorse were adorable, didn't know there were so many varieties! Only downside really was that the penguin enclosure was off limits currently so hopefully next time!

certainly a great fun place to go!

This was a good place to visit with the children. There is the opportunity to hold star fish and to see sting rays being fed. The shark dome and the penguins were also good fun. I thought the place would have been bigger so although good fun, you would only be able to spend an hour or so in there. A worthwhile visit though!

Great review :)

What an awesome place, kids could spend hours here going around and around on the conveyorbelt looking at the fish and sharks swimming overhead!!!! We went on the last day of the penquin encounter as they are changing it which was pretty cool.  The ride is great for the kids as is the interaction with the starfish by the cafe & watching the staff feed the ginormous sting rays. Great family day out :)

Awesome :)

The kids have been asking to return here for ages. They really love it. The combination of interactive games/ experiments, dress ups and attractive displays keeps them fully entertained. The tanks are full of weird and wonderful fish and we especially enjoy seeing Phoebe the stingray. Today was the last day for the snowcats. That ride is being disassembled and a walkway instead will be built. Yippee! We will not have to queue anymore to see the penguins. All round a great morning out.

Good one :)

Had the best time with my 3 children and also with my brother and his family. Thanks to the Localist and the free tickets we had just an amazing time. A great way to spend a not so nice Sunday afternoon.

We had a blast at Kelly Tarltons - the penguins were great, loved the sting ray encounter and the aquarium was neat!

Great :)

I could spend hours looking at the fish and hanging out at the many different fish tanks and enclosures, there's even a person to help and answer questions about star fish and you can touch them! Was weird touching them but liked the enclosures and the Penguins were very exciting!! Not to mention the sharks and the carpet shark blending in with the enclosure!! Will definitely be back and hope to explore further! Love it here could spend hours looking at fish!
