Informative experience. Best close-up of a kiwi I've had and staff were helpful and knowledgeable. Value for money at the reduced rate and good to know that our money helps with ongoing conservation work .
The conservation show was so great. So cool too meet some NZ native animals along with learning about the importance of conservation in NZ. The staff were so welcoming and knowledgeable too.
We really enjoyed our visit to the kiwi bird life park. It was a lovely afternoon, the weather was perfect and the children were extremely excited to see a kiwi in one of the kiwi houses.
Got to see the female and 3 male kiwis plus many other NZ native birds. The enclosures are well set up for photography The kiwi encounter experience was most informative and the conservation show was fabulous with plenty of opportunities for close up photos. The staff were most helpful. Great to see how an old tip has been turned into a great wildlife park
