This year, immerse yourself in a unique universe with Animal Crossing: New Horizons at SEA LIFE aquariums across Australia and New Zealand. The game, developed by Nintendo, offers an immersive experience into a world where you can create your own paradise on a deserted island and interact with its residents.
A FIRST IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND
For the first time, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is teaming up with SEA LIFE ANZ for a new live, interactive experience. This partnership allows guests to discover incredible marine life alongside some of the game’s most beloved characters.
Kicking off in SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium on 1st April, the tour will travel across Australia to SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium and SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast Aquarium before heading to New Zealand to SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton’s Aquarium in Auckland, delighting fans of SEA LIFE and Animal Crossing: New Horizons alike.
AN IMMERSIVE AND FUN EXPERIENCE
SEA LIFE ANZ, owned by Merlin Entertainments, the second largest entertainment group in the world and part of the largest aquarium network, is the ideal place to host this unique adventure. With its thousands of marine creatures and themed zones across all attractions, visitors will be able to explore rich and diverse marine environments.
Ian Wood, Vice President Merlin Entertainments ANZ is delighted by the collaboration: “We are thrilled to bring this one-of-a-kind experience to our SEA LIFE attractions across Australia and New Zealand. In this exciting collaboration, guests will embark on an immersive journey alongside beloved Animal Crossing: New Horizons characters, all while being surrounded by thousands of incredible marine creatures – from majestic green sea turtles to striking grey nurse sharks. Whether with family or friends, this fun-filled adventure blends the magic of the underwater world with the charm of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.”
ACTIVITIES AND MEETINGS
Guests will explore the varied marine habitats, meet Isabelle and other familiar characters from the game, and discover diverse sea creatures. Visitors will be able to collect character stamps, discover many interesting facts about the inhabitants of SEA LIFE, and search the aquarium for Gulliver, who washed up on the beaches of the island.
