The Kiwi House was an interesting stop, and we were lucky enough to see a Kiwi up close, which was a special moment! However, there are major renovations going on at the moment, and many areas are closed or under construction. Considering the current state of the facility, the entry price felt a bit high for what’s available. Hopefully it’ll be great once the upgrades are finished!
While it was great to have the opportunity to see a kiwi, I felt that the experience can be more interactive than just observing the bird in a near pitch black room with views that were often obstructed.nnThere were also a number of native birds on display but the ducks were the most abundant and interactive.
Got to finally see a kiwi bird. If you think youre not going to see it, let your eyes adjust to the dark and you'll finally be able to fully see one. The rest of the animals and birds were really cool to see as well. The path is mark that you can follow just to make sure you dont miss anything.
Not happy with the visit.nDriving from north to New Plymouth we stopped here on a whim—three of us, NZ $70 total—and left after barely 10 minutes. All the kiwis were asleep of course they’re nocturnal, so we literally saw nothing. No talks, no scheduled feedings, no interactive exhibits—just dark enclosures and silence. Felt like paying for an empty room. No playground and fun stuff for kids also. Staff are friendly and professional.
We came here randomly while driving back from the glow worm caves. I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to come here, as it’s pretty expensive considering there’s really not much to see. There are two kiwi nocturnal spaces, which obviously being dark are really hard to see into. One highlight was the big aviary, lots of pretty birds. Staff were also very nice and helpful
