Daily Schedule of Activities
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 Gallery
Feed:
Join our curation team in Fish Gallery 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.
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.
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 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.
