Sensory Quest

We're challenging you to a Sensory Quest this summer! Come along and enjoy a colourful hands-on journey: jumping over streams, listening to the sounds of a native forest, matching leaves to native trees, and replicating a raindrop falling into the ocean.

Signage and fun floor labels throughout the aquarium will direct and dare visitors to undertake certain actions, for example, ‘Take off your shoes and walk on the coastal rocks. What do the different rocks feel like and which feels best to you and your bubble?’.

Get together with your bubble and experience the National Aquarium of New Zealand in a new way.
Runs 18 December - 31 January.

Under the Covid-19 traffic light system, the National Aquarium requires all visitors over the age of 12 to show a My Vaccine Pass or official medical exemption. Masks must also be worn.
