Kelly Tarlton's is turning 37!

Auckland's favourite aquarium is turning 37 years old and we want to celebrate with you!

Kelly Tarlton's Underwater World first opened its doors to the public on 25 January 1985.  This place started with a dream of bringing the underwater world to all those that might not otherwise have the chance to experience it. 

To help us celebrate, we are inviting anyone with Kelly, Kelvin or Tarlton in their first, middle or last name to come in for FREE between Monday 24th January and Friday 28th January 2022!  Please scroll down for booking instructions and FAQ.

Not Kelly, Kelvin or Tarlton?

Don't worry, we also have something special for you!  Guests visiting between Monday 24th January and Friday 28th January 2022 will receive ONE free printed special edition souvenir photo as a momento.

Note: One free photo per booking. Additional cost applies if multiple photos are required.   

Thank you all for 37 years of support, particularly during these difficult times over the last couple of years during the global pandemic.
