    Great day out. Excellent facilities. Love this place. My favorite is the elephant, but they have a large array of animals to view. Special guides speak to you covering all questions you may have. Love this place.

    Excellent!
    Auckland zoo was exceptional. I visited the zoo to see a few animals that I would not typically see in the states. Parking does cost based on the length of time you select from the meter, however, you can also park on the side of the street before turning into the parking lot, which I believe is free. I was really impressed at how clean and well manicured everything looked throughout the zoo. The greenery/plants stood out to me in comparison to the dryer climate I'm used to.

    Redefining the modern zoo
    Having been a member for over 5 years, I have been constantly impressed by the passion and commitment towards conservation at Auckland Zoo. The animals are exceptionally healthy both physically and mentally. If I were an animal, I’d love to live here too. There are few tips I’d like to share with the savvy traveler. First, do not buy the Tip Top ice cream next to the lion and elephant enclosures. I know it’s the most exceptionally beautiful spot to take a break with the water feature for children to play in. And is a good spot to sit down for a break and watch the animals. If you have kids with you then let them get ice cream. But if you’re an adult with adult sensitivity’s and if you can wait a little more, there is ONE Kapiti ice cream stand further into the Zoo. This is the premium ice cream of the Zoo! Next, although the main cafeteria is satisfying, it is a crowded with typically a long wait. Ideally, pack a picnic and bring a blanket since the Zoo is one of the few places where you can picnic within the premises! If you can’t picnic, please go eat at the Elephant House restaurant over the cafeteria. It is an exceptionally renovated restaurant with an underrated bar and a real chef who prepares the most delightful dishes. Their salads are fresh, local and deliciously healthy. If you’re a local, I cannot recommend the membership enough. Not only are you helping to support the premium NZ animal refuge, but you get discounts on everything on an ongoing basis that delivers significant value.

    Auckland zoo
    Auckland zoo is situated near Western Springs quarter of Auckland and entrance charges to the zoo was NZ $ 29. The Zoo is 40 acres in size and opened on Saturday 16 December 1922.The Zoo is separated into divisions pertaining to the region of the origin of different animal species exhibited. On entering the zoo there were direction indicators to various sections of the zoo .Was enchanted by the unique and expensive artificial climate controlled "Tropical Dome" section of the zoo that housed tropical plant life and different animal and fish species at a constant temperature of 28*c.In the New Zealand section got to view the nocturnal Kiwi. Excellent Zoo for spotting species found only in New Zealand which is normally not exhibited in zoo's across the World.I saw the Kiwi for the first time in my life having visited the World's best zoo's in Europe and Asia.

    Well worth visiting while in Auckland
    Recently spent a few days in Auckland before heading off on a tour by train. We spent several hours at the zoo after going there on the hoop on hop off bus service. The zoo was well set out and had a wide variety of animals and birds, however the purpose built kiwi enclosure still left it almost to view the nocturnal birds. the various regions of the world were well defined and ammenities easy to find. Would definitely rate it as well worthwhile if visiting Auckland although would not be the major reason for visiting.

    Amazing experience
    Absolutely amazing! Staff members are very welcoming and friendly, there’s plenty of activities during the day and a couple of cafes/restaurants. Prices for food are quite high, but that’s expected in such places. Many animals to observe. They look comfortable and happy in their large, free and clean enclosures. I usually don’t enjoy zoos, but this is an amazing place to spend your day. Highly recommend!

    Family enriching walk and discovery
    Took the bus from Central city to the zoo less than 30 minutes. I spent almost 3 hours at the zoo such a large place to discover and see mostly everything was open. There was also a lot of shops and restaurants available. Kiwi experience was a bit difficult to see because it was in the dark. Overall great experience.

    Very nice
    Pair of tigers, deers, sambals, hippos are all phenomenal to watch. Penguin enclosure is nicely done up. But cudnt enjoy watching them since they don't allow to stand and observe peacefully. It's felt like we were in Mumbai local trains wherein the push and shove actions were plentiful. U enter yourself but u exit on the crowds push & flow. Hardly cud click pictures It was that quick and smooth.

    See the Giant Weta up close!
    Great zoo! Large enclosures for animals, really fun shows/animal encounters, and a cafeteria with surprisingly good food. There are zoo volunteers at many of the areas that will give you great info on the animals. Make sure to go to the bird show, the keepers fly them right over your head and it was very informative. I also loved the NZ animal encounter show, where you can get up close to the giant weta bug.
