Story

De Auckland Zoo is een dierentuin van 20 hectare in de Nieuw-Zeelandse stad Auckland. Het ligt naast het Western Springs Park, in de buurt van het belangrijkste zakencentrum. De zoo wordt momenteel beheerd door de gemeente in samenwerking met de \"Auckland Zoological Society\".
De dierentuin werd geopend in 1922, maar werd vrijwel direct geteisterd door moeilijkheden, met name op het gebied van de gezondheid van de dieren. In de jaren dertig had de dierentuin een aanzienlijke dierencollectie. Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog bleef de dierentuin open. De Chimpansees verzorgden in de jaren vijftig theekransjes. Hiermee werd in 1964 gestopt. In de jaren zeventig en tachtig werd de dierentuin uitgebreid in het Western Springs Park. Tevens werden veel oude dierenverblijven afgebroken om ruimte te maken voor een nieuwe ruimere opzet.
Tegenwoordig heeft de dierentuin circa 1300 dieren van ongeveer 179 soorten. Er zijn onder andere: Aziatische olifanten, wallaby's, Sumatraanse tijgers en de zeldzame Aziatische goudkat.
De dierentuin speelt een belangrijke rol bij het in stand houden van bepaalde diersoorten..

Great place if you like watching animals. All are looking healthy. Great for kids too. Also at the playground. Yummy French fries for lunch, and an ice cream.
The new exhibits are awesome. You can actually see the animals this time & not just their habitat. More interaction with the animals. An awesome day out with family.
Felt sorry for many of the animals in smallish enclosures. The zoo staff very friendly and helpful. Construction under way, will get better for the animals. Still much better then the earlier years. Monday was a good day to go, small reasonable numbers
It was a great day for majority of the animal's to be out when we actually were there, took quite a few great pictures too. Not bad for my first time though. Amazing staff. Animal's were Lovely and entertaining.
Loved our visit! Enclosures getting better. Saw newborn flamingos for the first time.
