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”

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

“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.”

“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.”

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

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

“Very good service. Easy to reach too.”

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

“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.”

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

“Louise and her team were amazing to deal with from start to finish. Nothing was too hard and she was on top of everything, kids had an amazing time, such a fantastic space for them and when they sat down to eat she sent all the adults outside and she looked after them so we could sit and eat too, worth every penny! Biggest complaint is the kids didn't want to leave at the end!”

“Love the quietness of nature and proximity of city lights. Short walk and quiet time on a bench looking at the city life....”

“An amazing place to have your child's birthday party at. Horses are so quiet for the children. People that own this venue are so good with the children. Highly recommended.”

“Would love to say a huge thanks to Selena in Christchurch Mini, her service is superb. Bought the car while I was still living in Indonesia, was so good to be able to get everything done on email & whatsapp. Shes very quick to respond as well. Super helpful and friendly service. Thank you!”

“We stayed in Franza Farm for a couple of days and the amount of warmth and hospitality we received was simply amazing. Our entire family felt so at home and we really would like to thank Sako and Andrew for being such great hosts. We have stayed in a few B&Bs before and Franza Farm is easily the best one we have stayed at! Special shout out to the friendly farm animals as well :)”

“I'm going on an adventure! While researching and planning our adventure through Middle Earth, we stumbled across Red Carpet Tours. I was slightly skeptical of a one stop shop but am so glad I booked with them. The entire experience was magical. Not only did we get to visit some iconic LOTR and Hobbit locations (as well as recreate some monumental scenes), we had the opportunity to see and hear about countless other parts of both the north and south islands of New Zealand. Julie and her team planned everything perfectly and made the trip entirely effortless. If you're an LOTR enthusiast or hard core Tolkien nerd, this is the tour for you. If you want to meet awesome people and see beautiful sites, this is the tour for you. If you wanna eat, drink and be merry, this is the tour for you. Basically this is the tour for everyone! I can't thank Julie enough for taking such great care of us and making our honeymoon the fantastic, fabulous, phenomenal adventure it was. I can't wait to come back!”

“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.”

“It's pretty nice over there saw a couple of animals.”

“Sarah could not have been more helpful, so easy to deal with and her knowledge and professionalism really made this experience so much easier, I would encourage anyone who is looking to join the job market contact Sarah to help you sell yourself to your future employer.”

“The first thing I want to say is how lucky I was to make the right decision. My son is three years old, and before that I visited a lot of places and did a lot of research. I knew a little bit about the environment before I came here and courses are great. I didn't expect too much for the teachers to be so friendly and responsible. For me, the feelings and experiences of children are more important than anything else. Because my son has not attended any day care before, his native language is not English, and his grandmother often takes care of him went back home for a period of time, which makes me worried about whether he will adapt to the new environment. All teachers, the front desk staff and the centre manager all understood my concerns and cooperated with each other to help my son to adapt faster and better. After two weeks transiting,my son is happy to stay and not crying after we drop him off. I am really grateful to the teachers there and this is the most responsible place I have encountered. They will understand the parents' thoughts and concerns, and work together, everything is for the sake of the child. Hope my son will have a wonderful journey in kakapo creek.”
