★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Loved this place, super friendly and passionate staff. Very much enjoyed feeding the eels and learning about them, as well as watching the kiwi interact with each other in a fantastic enclosure. Could have stayed for hours just watching those birds.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place from the outside looks like somewhere you may not bother with or looks run down. But don't judge the outside looks. Bit like the saying "don't judge a book by it's cover".
We were surprised how great it was when we visited. The outside looks are nothing compared to what is inside. This place is appropriate for all and there is lots to see. The guy who served us was friendly and informative.
My absolute favourite part was seeing the 2x kiwi birds. You will see them properly, the viewing space is open and wide meaning you will actually get the chance to see them. The eels are great to see too and there is even prawn fishing (fish and release).
All indoors, so also a great all year thing to do.
Well worth the visit!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This was a fun stop! The first one of these where the kiwi birds were close to the glass and we could see them! Feeding the giant eels was great fun. We really enjoyed talking with all the staff. Great place.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had a great visit here 2 weeks ago. Beautiful aquariums; fish, turtles, frogs and eels, among other amazing wildlife. Informative panels made for a great educational experience. All really easy to access, and a great kiwi room. The staff at the front were very friendly.
Worth a visit and will definitely come back another time if we are in Hokitika.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very good experience seeing trout and salmon as well as feeding eels and kiwi. Particularly, the kiwis here are very energetic, not too shy and very visible to viewers
