        Highlights      Get up close to sharks and penguins, witness the unique sights of the Antarctic world and observe fascinating polar wildlife. Explore the underwater ocean world that brings you fun and surprises.         Introduction    Kelly Tarlton's Sea Life Aquarium is one of Auckland’s most famous tourist attractions, and the masterpiece of renowned New Zealand marine archaeologist Kelly Tarlton. After ten years of effort, the aquarium opened to the public in 1985.  The aquarium blends ice, snow, and water. Here, you can explore the mysteries and natural treasures of the South Pacific seabed, watch penguins playing in ice and snow, feel the thrill of great white sharks and stingrays swimming freely overhead, and personally experience the challenging journey of famous New Zealand Antarctic explorer Robert Falcon Scott, who was the first to reach the South Pole.    Transportation      Kelly Tarlton's Sea Life Aquarium is located on the beautiful coastal road – Tamaki Drive – on the way to Auckland’s eastern suburbs, just a 5-minute drive from the city center.
