Perfekte Chance um Kiwi in Echt zu sehen
Die 2 kleinen Kiwis konnten wir sehr gut beobachten und haben in unserer Zeit in Neuseeland endlich unsere ersten Kiwi gesehen. Da Kiwi nachtaktiv sind, war der Raum zwar dunkel, aber dadurch waren sie sehr aktiv. Auch die Informationstafeln waren interessant, aber die Kiwi definitiv das Highlight.

Enjoyable experience
We were pleasantly surprised by this. It felt a bit like a small, local museum with interesting information about much more than the kiwi. The tuatara were a bonus too. A enriching way to pass time on a rainy day.

Not fully open, but still worthwhile
The latest part (penguin experience) wasn't open when we visited, so the team were offering discount tickets. The rest of it, kiwis and tuatara were worth visiting. Lots of information especially regarding the ongoing conservation efforts (project nest egg)

Kiwis und Pinguine live gesehen
Unser Besuch im West Coast Wildlife Center war großartig. Zunächst konnten wir endlich richtige Kiwis sehen. In dem abgedunkelten Raum konnten wir lustigen Vögel beobachten. Um 11 Uhr war dann kommentierte Fütterung der Pinguine. Das war sehr lehrreich und interessant. Auch unsere Kinder waren begeistert. Weitere Informationen zu Natur und Tieren von Neuseeland haben unseren Besuch bereichert. Vielen Dank.
