Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Wellington Zoo is the second largest zoo in New Zealand after Auckland Zoo. The zoo is over 100 years old and is a very popular weekend destination in Wellington. The zoo houses large animals such as lions, tigers and zebras, but don't forget to check out the cute silhouette of New Zealand's national bird, the kiwi! The kiwi, a nocturnal animal, is kept in a nocturnal animal house with weak lighting - a building called "Dark World" is hidden in the green forest. The moment you enter the house, your eyes can't adapt to the darkness. After adapting, you can Watch the interesting sight of kiwis pecking their feed with their long beaks. The park makes good use of topographical planning, so that every inch of land can be put to good use. You can slowly visit more than 900 kinds of animals and birds, and you can also feed giraffes and red pandas yourself (fee required).

If you want to get close with the animals, this place will be great for you! You can pay more to enjoy a great experience interacting with the animals under a guided tour. For a small zoo, there are many kinds of animals, and I highly recommend family members to come and see it together, I believe your children will love it. I appreciate the caution and seriousness of the staff here, considering that zoos are not only a care center for animals, but also a place to hold them.
The price/performance ratio has room for improvement, and the others are great, suitable for children to play together.
The size is similar to the orana ark in Christchurch, suitable for playing with family couples.
Great, unforgettable, and big, 👴🏻 like
Wellington Zoo is the largest zoo in New Zealand. It has a long history. It was built in the time of British colonization. It has been renovated several times. Now the zoo has expanded a lot. There are many animals in the zoo, especially the New Zealand National Bird Kiwi. You must see it.
