In 1983, Kelly Tarleton proposed building an aquarium in unused sewage tanks underground on the Auckland waterfront. The fish could be viewed through a long acrylic tunnel.The aquarium opened in 1985 after 10 months of construction. Tarleton developed a new method for building an acrylic tunnel by taking large sheets of clear acrylic, cutting them to size and heating them in an oven until they took shape. Some of the sheets weighed more than a ton. Due to the refraction caused by light passing through the water and the acrylic sheets used to create the tunnel, the fish appear to be a third smaller than they actually are.The main features of the aquarium are &quot;Meeting with Antarctica&quot; and &quot;Underwater World&quot;, but it also includes several other exhibits and several study rooms.

The Auckland War Memorial Museum has rich exhibits, long history, beautiful environment and a very beautiful small garden next to it. We spent another 20 New Zealand dollars to explain in Chinese and deeply understand this most important museum in Auckland, which is worth it!

The Auckland whale and dolphin discovery trip is definitely a project worth visiting at sea. Everyone takes a yacht to the deep sea. You will see groups of dolphins jumping by your boat. It is very cute and lucky. You&#39;ll see big whales floating out to the sea for breath, and when you see goldfish, all the tourists on board will exclaim, it&#39;s really, really memorable.
