The National Aquarium of New Zealand in Napier, New Zealand is so much more than just fish! This aquarium has many New Zealand native and endemic species like the Little or Blue Penguin, the Kiwi and The Tuatara , New Zealand's living Dinosaur. Informative, the aquarium shows why New Zealand has so many earthquakes and volcanoes and has a Dinosaur display. But the animals are the star of the show! Fish, sharks, a huge turtle from Fiji, rays, puffer fish, crayfish, lizards, small turtles and more fill the tanks and many can be seen from an underwater walkway. The aquarium offers a small cafe and gift shop, too. My sister and I brought home Dora, the little blue penguin of the year! (A small plush/stuffed animal, not an actual penguin!!). I was so impressed with this aquarium that is part museum, it's so well done and has a fantastic array of species. It was the only place we got to see a Kiwi!
