Octopus Eggs

Nice little place they have down there by the water. Good place to go for a quick and fun outing. Interesting seeing all the various types of marine life they have in one building.

The Island Bay Marine Education Centre's  Bait House Aquarium  is an interactive marine experience based in Island Bay on Wellington's south coast.There are  lots of different sea creatures on display including a couple of octupuses, sea horses, lobsters to name a few.  You can also gently touch and handle starfish, sea cucumbers, sea anemones, crabs and other sea life found in the local rock pools outside.There's far more inside than you would expect. The volunteers and expert staff are  very friendly and helpful. It is really reasonably priced and we were all entertained for ages. Really good fun and educational too. Definitely worth checking out with the family.
