Lots of great things to see, especially special animals! kea, kiwi, giraffes, lions,... very beautiful! not too big zoo, you can see everything in 2-3 hours. There are many feeding times that you should watch beforehand to see special animals. It's best to come in the morning so that all the animals are still outside.

Very pretty animal park where the animals benefit from magnificent spaces to live.

Everything was Excellent. Kids Enjoyed and Learnt more about wild life animals.

Always a pleasure and staff informative at each feeding. Great day out.

the kids enjoy it and we love it too. we will surely go back again 😊
