Kelly Tarlton's has plenty of interesting exhibits and is great for kids. However, I feel the whole place could do with a face-lift - fresh paint perhaps.
The penguins trip was a little short with very little time to see them under water.
Great place if you are prepared to take the time to learn and explore each area well.
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.

Don' t waste your money

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 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. You can spend your money on something else. It ...
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

It was quite a short tour... try to go in the mornin @ around 10am so you can witness the feeding of stingrays... Please smile for the picture @ the enterance. I found that the whole ...
