Kia Ora!

Our Aquarium showcases marine life from Southern New Zealand waters and is a window on marine research at the University of Otago.

We are open to the public seven days a week, and offer marine education programmes, guided tours and special events.

"Our mission is to foster understanding and appreciation of New Zealand's unique marine environment and responsibility towards its conservation."
