It doesn't matter how many times we visit this place we always have a great time and new experiences. Its a marvellous place to visit for everybody. We were very fortunatel one day to actually touch a tuatara which was at the vet hospital - that is a place worth visiting. Best value for money of any entertainment.

If you have any interest in New Zealand's wildlife, this is the place to learn about them. Nicely arranged and maintained. Worth visiting.

Auckland Zoo is good value for money and has had some recent upgrades and new exhibits opened recently. You can take your own food in and they have picnic tables and a cafe too.

Lovely animals love the tamarins. Take a whole day to enjoy the animal from all around the world. See the bird or go to the children zoo area with your kids.

If you want to go at a more leisurely pace the zoo can take all day or if you have busy kids it can take half a day!!! Lots of animals and love the fact you can walk through some of the enclosures for a more personal view. Feeing times are a must as you get to learn about the... More
