SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium

In 1983, Kelly Tarleton proposed building an aquarium in unused sewage tanks underground on the Auckland waterfront. The fish could be viewed through a long acrylic tunnel.The aquarium opened in 1985 after 10 months of construction. Tarleton developed a new method for building an acrylic tunnel by taking large sheets of clear acrylic, cutting them to size and heating them in an oven until they took shape. Some of the sheets weighed more than a ton. Due to the refraction caused by light passing through the water and the acrylic sheets used to create the tunnel, the fish appear to be a third smaller than they actually are.The main features of the aquarium are "Meeting with Antarctica" and "Underwater World", but it also includes several other exhibits and several study rooms.

Sea life kelly tarlton aquarium is most beautiful place to discover and see a sea animal like crocodile and a lot different kind of fish.

Quite good. The Antartic exhibition was great. Loved watching the rays glide overhead. But.... what is your point of difference to other marine aquariums? You need to highlight this. The revolving walkway is not innovative. Get nose to beak with penguins through the windows.In the main area of the exhibit where a keeper does their talk, the acoustics are poor & the playground drowns out a lot of the talk. However, it was a good few hours.Ticket Price:Family Admission-Online From $116 Per Family Up To $153 Per Family General Admission:Online From $45 Per Adult Up To $47Per AdultOpening Hours:9:30 am–5 pmTime required to visit: 1 to 3 hrsHave a safe trip!
