Thought it was a bad sign that nobody was queueing up to get into here at the height of the tourist season. Got a 20% discount on the door, think the girl took pity on us for wasting THAT much money. Only decent thing about this place was the peguins. The rest just looked tired and dated. Wouldn't go again, and would definitely not recommend to others. Go to the zoo instead, half the price and much more fun!

If you have been to Sea World give this place a pass. There wasn't much to see and most of the place seemed to be under construction while I was there. Definitely not worth the money.

The whole "tour" will take about 45 min. and that will be if you actually stop and look at every little thing. If you have a lot of little kids they'll be entertained, you'll be able to hold the teenager's attention span for about 10 minutes and forget this if you're an adult.

The manta rays were fabulous. So also was the snow cat ride into penguin land.

If you reach there by Kelly Tarlton's coach be sure to be out before the departure time else you'll have to walk it.

Also a rotating floor moving you around under a mass of different underwater wonders including mantor rays and sharks. But see for yourself. Thanks from a South African tourist

Kelly Tarlton's is unique. It used to be a water treatment plant and the city gave it to Kelly Tarlton to convert to an "Antarctic Encounter and Underwater World." You can see a film of the work involved to do the conversion.

You can also see lots of penguins on a tram ride and many, many types of underwater life as you walk ...

penguins were good, ray fish were out of this world. worth going just to see the ray fish, they were enormous. aquarium was ok but not much esle there for young children.
worth a couple of hours to get out of midday sun!
