  • Napier Aquarium is the best place to see Kiwi!

    They were running around, squawking! Well priced and the perfect size with a brilliant combination of information to read and animals to watch.

  • We had a good family fun morning here.

    Watching the sharks and penguins being fed. Staff put on a good show. Loved seeing the Kiwi birds too. Next door to a great playpark on the beachfront.

    More than only fish to see such as alligators.

  • The staff are really friendly.

    But too expensive for what you get. $82 for 30 minutes of snorkelling with really, really small sharks. Not enough space for the fish and other animals.

  • Even though it does not look to be very special from the outside, this place offers a lot of knowledge and interesting traits about the deep ocean, especially the consequences of environmental pollution

    . Thumbs up!

  • We spent almost two hours there primarily because of watching the penguins and marine turtle.

    There are quite a lot of things to discover for kids, but if you are still kids at heart, you will enjoy it here.

  • Cool stuff and animals to see but quite small.

    Price was reasonable, only big highlight was that we got to see some real life Kiwi.

    Some animals had a bit small living spaces but mostly okay. Also really cool to see the kiwi bird.
