WOW 🙃. Took us a bit to figure how to get there by bus but was definitely worth the effort! It was amazing to walk through and my Uncle who is 84, was thoroughly entertained. We all enjoyed ourselves.

A wonderful little place to visit and get up close with penguins and turtles. Beautiful little interactive experiences for the kids and educational facts. Not too big so great place to go after days of long trekking

This is for families with young children or marine-life enthusiasts, especially those who haven’t seen penguins or shark tunnels, it still holds real appeal. The penguin zone and interactive areas are likely to be favorites.

Visited Kelly Tarlton’s on a day out with family, and it was a solid experience—especially for kids and penguin lovers. The marine displays (sharks, rays, jellyfish) are well put together, and the penguin exhibit is a definite highlight—you can get really close behind the glass.

It’s worthwhile, especially if you’re visiting with children or enjoy marine life up close. If you go in expecting a smaller facility rather than a grand modern aquarium, and plan your visit for a quieter time, you’ll probably leave pleased. But if you’re after something very polished, expansive, or cutting-edge, it might fall a bit short.

Pretty sad seeing the penguins in such a tiny space - if they’d had the pool fixed for them it’d be a bit better but to be honest keeping penguins where they can never see the sky and in a cramped space for the pleasure of human to view was heartbreaking. The place was altogether depressing.
