Annual Pass Expiry

Check expiryOne of the best place for outing in a rainy day. I recommend annual pass for those who settled in Auckland with kids!
My Lil Miss 2+ absolutely loves a morning or afternoon visit to the Aquarium - and it is the perfect place to explore on a rainy or super hot sunny day too! She loves it so much that we purchased an annual pass (completely worth it as we travel in every couple of weeks as she begs to go!)
If you have young children this is a great place to visit. We went a couple of times and invested in the annual pass, it captivates the kids as the go through each area and with a kids play area half way through allows them a place to run off all of the excitement that has built up
Great for kids and annual pass is well worth it! So much to do and see.
