Throughout this year, Animal Crossing fans in Australia have been able to visit a live experience inspired by the game at Sea Life centers across the country. Now, the tour is heading into its final stop in Auckland, New Zealand.
Nintendo's official social media account for Australia and New Zealand shared a post about the immanent arrival of the Animal Crossing: New Horizons at Sea Life Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium, Auckland on December 16.
The interactive experience incorporates characters from Animal Horizon, including Isabelle, as they learn intriguing facts about the parks' marine life while collecting character stamps and searching the aquarium for Gulliver. The experience also includes Animal Crossing: New Horizons merchandise that is available for purchase at the park's store.
While the tour has been extended before, the final date for this experience is January 26, 2026. Before that date arrives, Animal Crossing: New Horizons will get a Switch 2 upgrade on January 15, 2026, as well as some new content for Switch 1 owners of the game. In the meantime, a new game called Petit Planet just might come for Animal Crossing's crown in the cozy gaming realm.
