Highly recommend, it maybe a small centre but the experiences here are hard to comeby.nHearing a Kiwi call through the centre, and seeing them up close, feeding and patting an eel, catching crays, and learning more about the waitbait obsession of the area.nSmall touches like fish chocolate at the end was appreciated.nWe randomly found this place by driving by and popped in to see what it was, ended up staying 1.5hrs here, was worth it.nGood collection in souvenir store and priced reasonably too.
A very enjoyable morning.nWe were really impressed .nThe information provided by the staff blew us away and we have a new found respect for eels.nThe kiwi enclosure was neat. It was pretty special to be able to get so close to them.nDefinitely worth a visit!
This place is an absolute must! Definitely go at feeding time. The eels are really cool to feed and give a little pet after food time.nnThe staff were great and very welcoming. Karen did the eel and kiwi feeding with us and has a wealth of knowledge about them. She provided us with some really awesome commentary.nnA lot more to do inside than I thought. Well worth the money. Highly recommended.
A nice place to see the Kiwi and also eels and other fish. You can’t photograph the Kiwi birds but other areas are allowed. You can feed the eels too. I feel the price is a bit too high but I don’t mind since it’s for the right causes I hope. Definitely worth visiting if you wanna see the elusive Kiwi bird.
I see a lot of people were disappointed with their kiwi interaction however everyone disappeared from the kiwi area right after they were fed and staying close by I had lots of time up very close to one. It was also lovely talking with the staff and actually asking questions about these wonderful animals perhaps others would enjoy their experience more if they immersed themselves a little deeper. Happy to pay to support the care of these birds before their release into the wild! Staff were also warm and lovely.
