  • Wonderful
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/20/04
    Parking right at entrance and exits, wonderful for the eye to see for both young and old. Section for kids to touch and explore play as they learn. Great ride through artic penguin enclosure. 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

  • I went to see the Penguins three times
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/27/05
    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 ...

  • SHARE A POOL WITH STINGRAYS
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/21/06
    The ride around the penquins, was excellent, but would have liked the opportunity to go around a couple of more times.

    The tunnel was good, and you could go around as many times as you wished.

    Of course it isn't Sea World, not all good things have to be "Bigger and Better". For the amount of space they had, it was used to the ...

  • Give it a pass
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/14/05
    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.

  • Lovely
    By newzealandgrl4ever, 11/12/07
    I loved all the fish and the penguins it is define must visit for the family. If your interest in marine life go here. The snowstorm is scary but the rest is great.

    By merch_dirgelwch, 04/02/07
    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!

  • Worth One Visit
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/15/07
    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.

    The entrance fee was extremely high for 45 minutes of entertainment. There are only 2 attractions, the penguins and walkway. Not worth the $$$.
