A truly amazing place and experience.We saw few endangered species and also a few which are hard to spot in the wild, e.g the red panda, a white lemur…..The place can be accessed by a bus or own car…..It is one of the well kept zoos that I have visited so far, across countries. Healthy animals who have ample of space to roam around , in a national environment is amazing.The best part is one can walk through few of the animal enclosures, like farm animals, kangaroo, bird enclosure.The zoo hosts a veterinary hospital that has glass walls and one can see and experience how animals are cared for.One of the must visit places in Wellington.

Amazing smaller zoo but mobility is hard it is a massive incline most pf the way so people with mobility issues look into a scooter because even someone pushing you up the hill they will get tired.

The Zoo is well kept and very clean (we went on a Monday, 11am till 1pm). Totally impressed with the quality of the Animal enclosures especially the Snow Leopards. Just wait around a bit longer and they might just come say hello!

We love the Zoo! This time we had booked 2 encounters - 1 with the meerkats and the other with the tiger.Unfortunately the weather was dreadful, we were soaking wet just walking from the car lol sadly this meant the meerkat (who hate rain) were a no show, but the team there were happy to rebook us for a later date.By the time we got to the tiger the weather had cleared a bit and it was wonderful getting to see such a magnificent cat up close and feed her (chunks of meat with tongs, no fingers lost).Definitely a wonderful place to visit no matter the weather ;)

Really nice zoo. It's built into a hillside so there's a bit of uphill walking to do. We have been before but this time we went to see the new snow leopards and they didn't disappoint. There are lions and tigers and you can get close to the cute little blue penguins. Staff very helpful.

Nice zoo. You can get up fairly close to all the animals and normally get a good view. The terrain can be a bit steep in parts, so a pushchair for kids or possibly some said couple be required for the mobility impaired. Staff are great, very knowledgeable and present interesting talks throughout the day. Will with a visit. I would make sure you have protection from the sun as well

Fantastic to see snow leopards and a tiger close up. The new lions are very sociable.
