Awesome tramping paths. Fantastic wildlife and they are not shy to show off for a few pictures. We'll worth the trip out there. The request for a donation at counter whilst purchasing access tickets is off putting, as we are all affected by the Pandemic. In fact sites like these should actually consider lowering ticket prices for locals to make it accessible thereby helping them stay afloat.
Beautiful place. Honestly didn't expect to enjoy it as much as we did! Surrounded by birdsong, great little mini-talks scheduled throughout the day thanks Kathy!, good hiking trails and lots to see - $24 for admission is very reasonable Top tip: The Twilight and night tours were booked out when we tried to book, so book in advance if you want to see kiwi about at night!
A little pricey but worth visiting. Lots of easy walks and some harder trails for the fitter folk. The view from the dam with the winds is quite breathtaking. The cafe isn’t very impressive food-wise but a pretty good gift shop and rather accessibility-friendly activity for the day. We spent 2-2.5hours here, possibly would’ve been longer if we weren’t on a schedule.
Loved Zealandia. The Takahe for me was the definite highlight. The walking was easy although there's a few challenging sections but the trails are well explained. I wish I had enough time to do the night tour! Maybe next time. The only sour part of our experience was the beginning at the welcome desk. As soon as we paid she turned around without much of explanation. We thought perhaps she was getting us a map but a quick run down of what the attractions are, what we could do, and the bag check area process would have been helpful. Other than that, we were very pleased with our experience. We look forward to going back again sometime in the future.
With it’s ingenious fencing, this very much feels like a scaled down version of Jurassic Park. And I loved it. It’s a beautiful spot, teeming with native birds. It’s a haven away from the busy metropolis of Wellington CBD. Excellent thought out walk ways and informatics around the park. I was able to spot a few of the famous residents
There's quite a lot to see here, even if it is just taking the time to listen and be quiet while waiting for the birds to come to you. Really calm and peaceful and on a nice day there is a lot of green and blue to be seen. I really enjoyed my visit and would say this is a must-do for any nature lover in Wellington.
Absolutely loved it here when we visited in April. Staff friendly and chatty. I could visit everyday. Lovely walks and lots to see. Saw a Morepork up a tree sleeping and lots more animals. Def a place to visit and get with nature. Will def be back on return to NZ.
Visiting from Scotland and been here three times already, wonderful place and a great vision. Night tour was exciting and truly awe inspiring, glow worms and kiwi were the star attraction but a clear sky meant the stars were too. Small group was good with lots of interaction. Food in Rata cafe is worth a visit too, quite big portions though, be warned. Look forward to coming back in 490 years to see how it turns out.
What an amazing experience! We managed to get last-minute tickets to the Zealandia by night tour and were treated to an incredible tour with very knowledgeable guides - saw two kiwis and heaps of other wildlife! The ticket also included free daytime entry the next day and a year of membership! An absolute must-do when visiting Wellington!
Strongly recommend! The tour was excellent, there is a very nice guided hike, short boat ride at set times, so many birds. Saw a bunch of Tuataras and very rare birds I did not expect to see. I also learnt that there is a duck goose hybrid. I great place to bring anyone.
