Experience the ultimate animal adventure at Orana Wildlife Park - New Zealand's only open range zoo!
Up close to most of the assorted animals was amazing! Totally enjoyed the experience especially on a hot sunny day! Definitely looking forward to next visits! Cheers
Orana Wildlife Park was such a lovely, relaxing place to spend the day. I really liked seeing the animals in big, open spaces that felt natural and spacious. A calm and peaceful day. The park itself is easy to wander through, and the animals genuinely looked happy, healthy, and well looked after.
Really sad, barely see animals went around 1, also some animal encounters are so far you need binoculars to see them. Zoo is run down, needs a massive upgrade haven’t been back since I was in primary school, and it looks the same from 20 years ago except run down. Food was good, keepers were awesome, but the animals seem depressed, tiger feeding time was sad, literally just chucked a box of meat for them to rip open.
Beautiful park and very friendly and informative staff! Had a great time!

Great family time
It was an awesome experience. The whole whanau had fun walking around the park and having a good look at the animals.
