Whilst in Tasmania on our trip by Cabin & Car we stopped in to visit Seahorse World which is right next door to Platypus House in Beauty Point, to the North North East in Tasmania.
It’s a very interactive tour that takes you through the various types of Seahorses, what they are, what they do, how they reproduce and you even get to touch one in a live feel tank. When visiting you take a tour to explore the favility, like at Platypus House which is directly opposite. There is a pass you can purchase to visit both locations, plus the Beaconsfield Mine, but we were missing the mine this time after getting our fix at the Wonthaggi Coal Mines recently.
The kids learnt a lot about not only Seahorses, but also a number of other marine animals. They learnt about the lifecycle of clown fish and got to meet a 10 year old crab from the Tasman/Bass Straight region and he was MASSIVE!
Check out the video above, where you can see the tour and all the fun we had learning about the mystical animal that is the Seahorse!
