Zoo

Very neat place to see kiwis and learn more about the birds of New Zealand! One of the keepers gave us an impromptu lesson as we arrived since he happened to be at the desk, then an excellent staff member inside chased us down to let us know the kiwis had come closer to the glass. The eels were shockingly fun to see too, the biggest one still has me wide eyed!

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.

It's not just reptiles at this park! There are also some A+ amphibians, tarantulas, and chooks (although it's unclear whether these are meant to be in the zoo). Lots to see, especially if you're a fan of tortoises. One concern I have is that the alligators and monitors don't have much space - felt a bit bad for them.

our family truly enjoyed our visit here! the kids are still talking about the funky farm!such a treat to have this avaliable for kids to learn about animals and of course feed them :D

It was pretty cloudy today but the zoo was fantastic. A few rain showers came thru and there were lots of nice places to shelter. Saw all the animals (even the kiwis!) except the otters which hid. The cafes were nicely located around but we brought our own food as too expensive for the family otherwise. Got a good entertainment club discount for entry too.

HCC has made big investment in the Hamilton Zoo since we last visited 2 years ago. It was so well patronized there was a queue to enter (10 mins) & the car parks so full we & others had to park on Brymer Road, roadside. There is public transportation if you need it or prefer. The kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves. It was my son's 3rd visit since 2018 & definitely the best.

This is favourite place with kids. We going there almost every weekend.:) We have an annual pass, that is so worth it! If your kids love animals you should try it. :) also great flying foxes to have fun.

Fantastic large zoo with a great range of animals. Obviously not on the same level as Auckland zoo, but great value for money. We saw the giant crocodiles being fed and lots of other interesting things. Staff were all very friendly.

Great place for kids and adults alike to spent some time with the animals.

There’s few great things on this place access to the disability mobile carts, small restaurant on the entrance and also ice cream and there’s 2 vending machines with chips and drink pay by card or cash, try go there feeding time and you can clearly see them and enjoy there, please do not feed the animals but you can bring your own food and enjoy with your friend’s and family also very nice play ground for kids and adults, toilets are very clean and there few spot that you can get drinking water and enjoy
