Love Your Local Marine Life This Summer!
There are so many amazing sea creatures found in and around New Zealand and our local Hauraki Gulf waters, come and pay a visit to SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s Aquarium these school holidays to find out all about our local marine life.
From 21st December to 31st January kids can discover incredible local aquatic animals as they go on a journey through the underwater world and complete activities from a free ‘Love Your Local Marine Life’ activity booklet. (Free with every child ticket purchased)
Go on an octopus hunt and keep your eyes peeled for octopus plushies placed around the aquarium and holding letters that help reveal the secret keyword. Explore each tank for answers to the Marine Animal Quiz.
Learn about local marine animals from Long Fin Eels to Eagle Rays, from Pig Fish to Pufferfish and everything in-between!
Through the activity booklet, kids will unearth interesting information about Cushion Stars, Red Moki, Kokopu and Hiwihiwi.
