A delightful Zoo with lots to see and do for small kids and big ones too. Lovely restaurant Rex with good choice of healthy food. Can see the zoo is well loved by staff too. Even if it’s blowing a northerly. Still well sheltered. Wheelchair and stroller accessibleVisited onWeekendWait time1 hr+Reservation recommendedNo
We had a wonderful day at the zoo. It was a little bit rainy but i guess it kept the school holiday crowds away. We were greeted by the gibbons morning call which was awesome to see. All of the staff were wonderful especially keeper Jacob that we saw at multiple keeper talks through out the day. The enclosures were well maintained and designed. The signage was amazing and really showed how much they value all of the animals welfare.
The concept of creating a wild like environment for animals is what I liked the most. Animals can be watched very closely and for a few birds and animals one can walk through. We really enjoyed the walk through the kangaroo enclosure. Also we made sure not to miss on the talks explanations given by the zoo keepers that was scheduled. This is available at the entrance, on the map and the talk time is also published outside the enclosures. Few species in the zoo are endangered or rarely seen in the wild, like the red panda. We were lucky to spot 2 of them at the zoo, there is a red panda feeding session, that needs to be booked in advance and is a one in a lifetime experience, not to be missed. Approach to the zoo is easy as there are busses plying from the city. Zoo has ample of parking space as well. A good experience and one of the places will recommend to visit in Wellington, especially for the ones with kids. One of the coolest things to visit is the animal hospital care center. The way it has been built provides a unique experience, as the visitors can see the operation theatre, rehabilitation center and also can ask any query from the staff there.
This is a great zoo! Good layout that allows you to get very close to the animals but also keeps them safe. The animals look relaxed and happy, well taken care of. Definitely recommend this experience for any age.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
They don't have Elephants and Rhinoceros. But what they have there are all well kept, big spaces for animals, clean areas and tried to keep them as in their natural environment as possible. I think it's not so friendly with people with wheelchair though. They were building place for Snow leopard, will definitely go back to see snow leopard.
Absolutely amazing! Way better than Auckland Zoo. Realistic pricing for entry and encounters. We chose the zoo on a whim and am so glad we did. All areas were close enough to get a decent view of the animals but also at a safe distance for them. All the staff were super friendly and happy to answer all our questions even while they were getting on with their jobs and day. So many interactive activities along the way. We were so pleased with the Lemur encounter, Cam shared so much of his knowledge and experience with us and answered all our questions, even took so many photos for us that we ran out of storage lol.
Visited on Sept 2022: A wonderful place to be with kids and family. Not many animals but whatever they have, they are kept in a very good condition, they tried to make the environment as natural as possible for each species. Very green and beautiful place, well maintained. Talk about sessions are very informative, which gives a a lot of information about the animal/bird. Try to go early in the day to catch all the talk about sessions.
I don’t think the free shuttle from the hospital is promoted enough. Very convenient if taking public transport. I basically went to the “keeper’s talks” which was more likely to have the animals come to where you could see them on a cold, wet day. Also I did the black and white lemur experience. So. Soft.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Had a great time exploring the zoo. Went on a weekday and it wasn’t crowded. So we could walk around at our leisure. Nice cafe at the front too. Highly recommend purchasing an experience online - but make sure you do in advance as many book out quickly. Mum gifted me a Lemur experience which was wonderful - four people can meet the two lemurs in their enclosure. The Guide was lovely and spoke so fondly about the Lemur.
Such a great place to visit over and over again! The kids absolutely love it. Same animals but a different experience each time. Love that there are several picnic spots throughout, we often grab a family pass and bring a packed lunch for a great day out!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
