Bait House Aquarium

The Bait House is open and teeming with marine life for your enjoyment!

The Island Bay Marine Education Centre's Bait House Aquarium is an interactive marine experience based on our south coast in Island Bay. There are lots of creatures to see inside so come along and be inspired.

The most popular feature inside the Bait House is the "Touch Gently Pool" where visitors of all ages have a chance to hold some of the marine animals in their care.  Even your little ones can get involved.  All are welcome and encouraged to touch the animals under the guidance of experienced Marine Biologists and knowledgeable volunteers.  The kids can probably show you what they have learned about in school. 

There’s plenty to see and lots of support to ensure your visit is a memorable one.
