Fantastic place to look at some wonderful marine life. Cheap as chips and the touch pool is a brilliant way for kids and kids at heart to see things up close and personal. The octopus talk was brilliant and I definitely learned some things and walked away with a greater appreciation for our marine life!
If you want to get up close and personal with some of the amazing sea creatures, then check this place. Located along the seashore of Island bay, Wellington. The staff were amazing and accommodating. Kids and Kids at heart will surely enjoy this place. If you are lucky, you might witness the Octopus feeding session. The entrance fee is cheaper than your coffee.
The Island Bay Marine Education Centre, also known as "The Bait House", is an interactive marine experience based in Island Bay on Wellington's south coast. As well as there being lots of different sea creatures on display including a couple of octupuses, sea horses, crayfish, turtles, a grumpy blue cod to name a few you can also handle starfish, sea cucumbers, sea anemones, crabs and other sea life found un the touch pools. There is far more inside than you would expect from the outside and the volunteers whi wirk there are very friendly and helpful. It is really reasonably priced $5 for adults, $2 per child and we were all entertained for ages. Really good fun and educational too. Definitely worth checking out with the family.
Fantastic place to get up close and touch some sea creatures. The kids love it especially when they saw the octopus have paddle crab for lunch. Outside of course is the beach and rockery so the kids continue their investigations there. The staff are very knowledge and very friendly. Always willing to answer your questions about what you are seeing.
Absolutely worth visiting at least once. 5 stars if you have proper age kids 5-10y.o.. Small fee at entrance. Cool thing is open pool with all kind of sea creatures that you can touch.
This wonderful kid friendly educational place is open every Sunday and open on request for school groups to visit. The touchy feely tank was the winner with my grandkids. Knowledgeable helpful friendly volunteers are on hand to widen the visitors experience.
Would have been a 5 star if venue was big enough to accommodate the school holiday crowd. Although there were plenty of volunteers around, the place could use an expansion so it doesn’t feel so claustrophobic. Enough local and non local sea creatures to satisfy the young curious minds, Victor our volunteer guide was engaging and enthusiastic when welcoming us with a short story of why they are doing this there. The highlight had to be the open aquarium where kids can physically interact with sea cucumbers, star fishes, and the likes. Must do activity in windy Welly with primary - Intermediate kids.
The staff really make this place come alive. So knowledgable and entertaining for the kids. The touching tank is great for the kids to get a hands on experience with starfish & anemones. It's super cheap to get in as well.
If you don't, you need to watch these guys on Facebook. Boris the Blue Cod is informative and sassy. He tells you all about what is on, who is where, and generally is a great fishy David Attenborough. The staff are very smart, able to answer any questions you may have. My son got to help feed the octopus. The touch pool is great!
Fantastic learning experience, especially for kids. Hands on too rather than look but don't touch. Plenty staff to answer all your questions.
