Zoo in New Zealand

“A wonderful place to visit!! We couldn't believe that it was free to visit. A lovely place to stay for either a short or long time. As well as seeing the animals there are many places to sit and have a picnic as well as a lovely childrens' play area. Highly recommend.”

“Standard parking. Reasonably prices. Short stroll to main entrance of zoo”

“Auckland Zoo is an easy standout. The staff and volunteers are genuinely friendly and make the whole place feel welcoming. The animals look well cared for and the habitats are clean and well maintained. Plenty to keep the kids entertained with lots of space to explore and learn. Also, the coffee at the front cafe is surprisingly good which is always a win. A smooth, enjoyable visit from start to finish. Great place for families. Parking was closed due to renovations, so we had to park near MOTAT. Nice walk through the park though.”

“Did the Meerkat Close Encounter and was incredible. Such an interactive experience with very knowledgeable keepers. A great zoo to support which contributes to conservation efforts and animal well-being.”

“The upgrades to this facility are fantastic. It's clean, the animals are well cared for and happy, and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The map is well laid out with plenty of play areas sprinkled throughout, as well as restrooms and snack opportunities. Disability access is decent, but there are some steep areas. The cafe is good, with a smaller outlet next to the playground. There is a decent selection of gluten and dairy free snacks, as well as alternative milks for surprisingly good coffee.”

“Excellent free tram rides between the MOTAT sites. These museums are a must for any visitor to Auckland.”

“Great little zoo to get up and close with the animals. Very reasonable entry prices and giftwares that are available in the mini store area. Feed is also available for feeding the animals on site. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location wasn't too bad either. Would happily visit again in the future.”

“We had the best time at the zoo, we nearly didn’t even know it existed but someone told us about it. Had the most surreal experience with the lions, I hope they get their pool filled up soon hehe. They were nibbling on a carcass which was unreal and then someone came out and gave them some meat right before we left. Was so bloody cool. There’s also a neat little 10 minute trail walk at the back, was lovely.”

“Zoo boxing is the gym out east ... Unleash your animal”

“The team is not only knowledgeable but also incredibly responsive, friendly and receptive.”

“I've been working with Ryan for a few years now. Across a variety of projects. Huge fan and would reccomend.”

“The people running the car park were great to deal with and we're really nice”

“Thank you Adam for an awesome first-time canyoning experience!! The waterfall was beautiful and very powerful! It's so fun and exhilarating to abseil down the Kitekite falls in Piha.”

“One of the best regional parks - you can have sea, mountain and birds with stunning views. The playground was super fun for kids while most people coming here for surfing or see the garnet colony. It’s a paradise for bird lovers or photographers. This is a perfect for capturing the West Coast sunset!”

“Such a little gem of a place with bush walks and a beach that is beautiful. Lots of bird life and trees to shelter from the sun. Just a great place.”

“Pacific ocean views, seal lions lounging, volcanic rock formations brought to you by Monarch cruises and their knowledgeable staff, especially Will.”

“Fantastic experience for locals and tourists alike. The pricing is very fair considering what’s involved. You’re given a fair choice of courses to partake in to suit all ages. The courses are various, which keeps it interesting no matter your skill level or confidence with heights. At heights varying from 1 to 10 metres, you’ll have to go through tunnels, across beams, weave in between posts or even just walk the tightrope with nothing but a cable to keep your balance. Highly recommend the day out.”

“Amazing place! The team here is so passionate about protecting NZ’s native wildlife, and the guided walks are first class. A must-visit if you want to see the beauty of our forests and learn how we can help protect them. I will be back in late spring for sure.”

“Don’t miss the predator proof park! Amazing concept!!Ecological avant garde! Opens 9:30 or 10:00 am to 4:30 PM. Amazing vegetation, birds and superb cafeteria. Look for Mr T family ( Takahe)”

“A great evening seeing the penguins come ashore, socialise and settle into their nests in their natural environment. Complimented by the detailed knowledge and enthusiasm of the guides. We also very much enjoyed the nature drive from Dunedin stopping at a number of locations to see the spectacular views and many birds along the shoreline.”

“Easy track with stunning ocean views. There are beautiful beaches as well. Animal encounters are pleasant.”

“An excellent trip. We had a great experience with a large pod of dolphins for about an hour. Staff were helpful a d friendly. Highly recommend.”
