Stingray Encounter:
It's no easy job feeding these large Stingrays who get quite playful when it comes to lunch time, but it is great to watch! Enjoy this informative encounter and be enthralled by these incredible creatures.
Penguin Feed:
Don’t miss the only scheduled penguin feed of the day. During this feed our colony of King and Gentoo penguins receive their breakfast and vitamins from the curation team. This is a great opportunity to hear about the penguin activity in the enclosure.
Fish Alley:
Join our curation team in Fish Alley to see a variety of marine life being fed. This is a great opportunity to learn about some of our weird and wonderful creatures - from the venomous Lion Fish and hungry Piranha to our huge Packhorse crayfish.
Shark feed:
Watch as two of our divers, each with a bucket of mullet and kahawai, hand feed our sharks. This captivating encounter happens every Tuesday and Thursday at 2:30pm.
Oceanarium Diver Hand Feed:
This encounter includes the feeding of a variety of different marine animals including Sea Turtles, and a large array of fish life. Our fish consume about 100kg of fresh fish, mussels and dietry supplements a week.
Life on the Ice Presentation:
Find out about ‘life on the ice’ from our keepers – a glimpse at life in the Antarctic – the coldest, windiest and driest continent on earth.
Oceanarium Surface Feed:
A member of our curation team feeds the many inhabitants of the oceanarium tank by dropping food (including mussels, herring, squid) from a raft. Watch as fish dart at rapid speeds trying to get their share of the food.
