Zoo in Auckland

“We had my daughters birthday party here and hired the room which worked out to be more affordable and we were able to invite more guests. We were allowed to do our own catering which made it even better and the tour guide was amazing. Even though we were late staff were great and polite and friendly. We felt right at home. the kids loved it! The parents loved it too! So worth it.”

“Literally feels like we're on a Windows wallpaper. Green everywhere. Sheeps cows and a wonderful view.”

“Very efficient. Medication is delivered promptly. Notifications of next delivery are sent well in advance as are reminders when prescriptions need refilling. Staff are very helpful if there are issues or queries and the fact they only charge for medicines which are not covered but no charge for prescriptions or postage is amazing. I can't recommend this service highly enough.”

“My Grandaughter Hayley from MELBOURNE was due for her 30th birthday, what’s a fantastic family plan she thought? Here’s the action! I will go to NZ and take granddad, aunty and her granddaughters to a fabulous attraction BUTTERFLY CREEK near Auckland airport! WOW! an absolutely amazing choice, friendly staff, well maintained, safety precautions adhered to by all! We hit cafe first as you do! The coffee was first class as was the food displayed or made. Train ride got you oriented to the park surroundings. That is wonderful! We had paid extra for a Meerkat encounter, stars where Kia and Otse friendly and playful no hesitation to climb on you for the mealy worms you fed them! Our animal keepers Madie and Woo who where in enclosure with us where knowledgeable informative and very nice people. The butterfly, kiwi, aquarium, baby animals dinosaurs are absolutely amazing! They have birthday party rooms as well! My advice for a fabulous educational and happy outing for discerning families is to take a trip and visit BUTTERFLY CREEK in Auckland NZ Arthur C Charlton west Auckland NZ.”

“Herne Bay Beach is a lovely little beach in Auckland. On 14/10/2023, we went to Herne Bay Beach for a relaxing walk. Unfortunately, the weather was not so good and we didn’t enjoy much there. We will definitely go there again on a sunny day at Easter and recommend you to go there if you live in Herne Bay or happen to drive past there.”

“What an amazing fun experience! You walked in you would feel you were in a different place! Just make sure you know the car park is not beside the building. The car park is on the right hand of the top! If you read the sign on the building you will see it”

“We visited Crystal Mountain during the week ( school term ) it is a great place with lots to offer and very unusual and interesting things to see. It boasts A Crystal Museum and store, Huge indoor play area, two cafes, carousel rides and a roller coaster, interesting animals, large dinosaur statues and more... Lots of free parking on-site . Ideal for all ages and for kids birthday parties. You get to Interact with most animals and feed them (the animal food is sold at the main entrance Cafe) The indoor play area includes 3 rides ( Carousel, teacup and train), a jumping castle plus a Massive activity area and a separate play area for toddlers Outside activities includes a train ride, roller coaster and tractor ride. The two cafes have a variety of food on their menu and is child friendly, one cafe is situated at the main entrance and the other at the indoor play area. The staff are super super kind ,friendly , interactive and helpful. We noticed a few of the staff cover alot of responsibility of the park and even with all that responsibility they still made our visit so much more fun. A huge thanks to the amazing team namely the young lady that does the train ride and sees to the animals, the young gentleman that operates the indoor rides and oversees the indoor play area and the helpful lady at the cafe who took the time to explain all that we needed to know so that we made the most of our time there. The Crystal Museum store sell so many beautiful and unusual items. Cons: The Main cafe food is substandard but cheap, we didnt try the food at the play area Cafe. When we bought our tickets on Grab One we ensured we bought the full access tickets there was no mention that during the school term week the Rollercoaster and tractor rides do not operate, we only found this out at the cafe counter when we handed our tickets in. I will definitely be going back.”

“It's free! And it's v cute, albeit tiny. I took some photos for a young adult couple. Not crowded at all. Open 10am, and open until after the zoo next door closes. They share a car park, easy access.”

“Hidden gem in the quiet part of the zoo on the south American track. Found was excellent comparable to any cafes in town. We had the eggs Benedict with bacon and chips with Parmesan and truffle”

“Really happy with our two night stay at the Surrey. All the staff were super friendly and helpful. Rooms clean and fresh. Pool kept the kids happy. Food at the pub was delicious! We had a breakfast and a dinner meal, both times with 10 people and the food was hot fresh and delicious. It’s not a super fancy hotel but it was everything we needed for our little Auckland vacation - proximity to the zoo was super helpful too!”

“It's not really a destination in itself, but it can be a great part of a decent walk. It's an excellent option to cutting directly across the creek at Moray Place. Sometimes there is some birdlife along the walkway, swans, ducks, kingfishers, pukeko.”

“Great hidden park. Small area with swings and slides”

“This review is solely based on their coffee. Mojo coffee served here which is simply amazing. Wifey had a Latte and I had a long black which tasted delicious. Food options are very limited. Could use more snacks like scones or muffins. Customer service needs improvement as well, maybe more smiley faces?”

“My grandbabies come here to play basketball”

“Great little park for a stroll.”

“Lovely short path through bush next to a stream”

“Went there 3 years ago and it was very nice to visit for family. Only defect is not good for people has no car to set for”
