Remember to bring your family and friends to our next Open Day. Get close to several of our exciting animals that live right here in the Cook Strait. Learn more from our promotional video below about what you will see and experience in Our Oceans classroom!

Below are some more images of our facility!

The large tank above has 12 year old captive bred snapper swimming with groper, trumpeters and the biggest blue cod you've ever seen!

The octopus tanks are one of our favorite displays, letting you get close to this amazing animal ! If you're lucky you might even be able to shake hands with one of them! Our colourful red moki are always active, watching you from within their salt water home.

The "touch gently" tank is a major attraction, entrancing all ages with its amazing display of south coast marine animals. This is a great family experience for you and all of your friends!

Our interactive Touch Tank gives you "hands on" experience with some amazing species, some of which are explained below! Learn about Our Ocean at the Island Bay Marine Education Centre!
