Kelly Tarltons sea life Aquarium

As we pulled into the car park I thought surely this small building cant be the aquarium but looks in this case were very deceiving.
You enter the building and head on down underground into a world of sea life.
It houses over 30 live animal exhibits, from over 80 different species in spectacular habitat displays, including the world's largest Antarctic penguin colony exhibit and amazing underwater viewing tunnels where the fish and stingrays just swim right on by.

Have to love Auckland Zoo

I finally made it to Auckland and spent a week catching up with my friend and seeing some of the sights; One of the highlights was my visit to Auckland Zoo which is home to the largest collection of native and exotic animals in New Zealand, set in 17 hectares of lush parkland and just minutes from central Auckland.
 
It is also home to the New Zealand Centre for Conservation Medicine (NZCCM), This state-of-the-art facility is the first national centre for conservation medicine in the world, and is a place where visitors can view the veterinary team at work.
 
So if you ever make it to Auckland you have to go and pay the Zoo a visit and see the amazing work that the staff do and take in all that there is to see.
