Cheer on the naughty penguins (and send mischief vibes to the nerdy ones) this weekend.

Half Price Weekend is a great opportunity to visit the National Aquarium’s popular Little Penguins. 

Looking for something to do this weekend? Then visit the National Aquarium of New Zealand which is offering half price on general admission entry.

General admission tickets this weekend (Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 August) will cost adults just $11, children $5.50, seniors $7.75, with a family pass top value at $30.

Look out for the diver in the Oceanarium at 10am or 2pm, or check out the hand feeding of the Little Penguins, at the usual times of 9.30am, 1.30pm or 3.30pm. You might even spot this month’s naughty and good penguin!

The Oceanarium showcases many of the species which live in Hawke Bay, including five types of shark and reef fish. Elsewhere in the National Aquarium, you can view other native saltwater and freshwater species, as well as exotic reef and deep-sea fish from around the world. The kiwi and tuatara enclosures provide a special insight into two of New Zealand's most precious species.

The Fish Bowl Cafe will also be open as usual, providing great coffee and a delicious range of refreshments.

The National Aquarium is open from 9am to 5pm daily, with the last entry at 4.30pm.

Note: Half Price Weekend offer does not include encounters.
