A fantastic day out for all ages. So many gorgeous animals, many you can pat and feed. So nice getting up close and personal with the animals. Very tidy and well kept park. Feeding the Eels was a highlight. A must visit for anyone living in or visiting Christchurch.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
incredible for the admission cost. for most people, by far the easiest way to see a live Kiwi. be warned, the Kea are very friendly! the farm animals in particular are all very docile and cute. felt a bit sad seeing the parrots though. some of the exhibits are clearly way too small, even for a zoo or "wildlife reserve". in any case, well worth the time and money to come here for an hour or two.
Had a great day out with my wife and 11 month old. The park is split up into 3 sections exotic animals, farm animals and animals native to new Zealand. The park had a very natural feel to it with lovely walk ways with duck ponds and birds throughout meaning you never felt like you weren't near something to look at. Even managed to stop for a lovely coffee watching the deer. You can buy food to feed some of the animals but we didn't as our child was a bit small. Saying that she still loved to get close to the farm animals and stroke the goats/sheep.
Great place to spend time with your family. Loved feeding all the animals. Cleverly located picnic area allows for a lovely break midpoint. It has bathrooms, picnic tables and some entertainment for kids. Definitely recommend!Visited onPublic holidayWait timeUp to 10 min
We spent a lovely morning wandering Willowbank. We primarily went to see a kiwi, and we did see them! last chance before leaving NZ, several previous failed attempts at other places! And there's so much more. There's regular feeding times and the staff happily answered questions included in the ticket price. You can pay extra for encounters Cafe is also lovely. Would recommend with or without kids! Plenty of parking and we did manage to park our campervan there too.
We got an annual pass and go regularly with our 2 year old. Easy to spend 1-2 hours here. Great way to get kids used to animals with plenty of opportunities to feed and observe them. They are constantly improving and upgrading various areas as well which is great.
Lovely weather. $3 per bag of food. There are buckets of food too. Pathways pretty wide, watch out for the occasional tree root. Monkeys, capybara, goats, horses, otters, macaws. 32.5 for adults and 12.5 children. Not too bad a day today
Fun place to visit if you like feeding the animals. Feeding the eels was definitely the highlight and seeing the kiwi birds running around in the dark was cool. It's worth the visit to see all the different animals.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Great activity for animal lovers of all ages near downtown Christchurch. Chance to see some native wildlife, along with other animals like capybaras. Lest we forget, great viewing area to see kiwis! It is a dark enclosure so even after your eyes adjust you may not clearly see them as they scurry about but with some patience you will.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
An absolute must-do for all visitors to Ōtautahi Christchurch and locals alike. I have been many times and also did some volunteering because I enjoyed it so much. The staff are all super friendly and knowledgeable. The native birds are the highlight for me but there are lots of cute, cool and unique animals to see who are well looked after. It's also nice wandering through the natural feel of the trees etc. sometimes you forget where you are. Great for families or individuals looking for something fun to do. You can also learn about some Māori culture which is an important touch. Highly recommend you check Willowbank out if you haven't already.
