Welcome
to the Southern Encounter Aquarium and Kiwi House website, where
we can provide you with an exciting glimpse of what lies within
our locally focused attraction. We are committed to the concept
of conservation through advocacy and education, and endeavour
to bring you closer to the aquatic and terrestrial fauna that
makes New Zealand so special.
The
animals listed on this website are examples of the wide range
of species displayed at Southern Encounter - come in and check
out approximately 150 species of fishy and feathery friends
some day soon!
Southern
Encounter is found within Cathedral Square, in the heart of
Christchurch, the South Island’s largest city.
Enter the attraction through our fantastic wildlife themed Gift Shop next to the Christchurch Visitor Centre.
