★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had a great time with the family.
Amazing, seeing the white Rhinos and Giraffes up so close. And you cant forget the Monkeys ofcourse , which were also a big hit with kids.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We visited the Hamilton Zoo today for the first time. It was a really warm day - around 31⁰C when we arrived, climbing to 34⁰C by the time we left. Because it was so warm, and there was very little breeze, a lot of the animals were snuggled in their dens/burrows/houses, and we missed seeing well over half of the zoo's animal inhabitants. It was so hot that the poor Tui were open-mouth breathing, and had no energy for singing.
Seeing "empty" enclosure after "empty" enclosure lent the zoo a very Jurassic Park feel, hehe. Nobody's fault of course, but a little disappointing all the same.
That said, we were super impressed with the rhino enclosure and how close you could get to these incredible animals. They were just gorgeous.
It is a very pretty zoo with beautiful paths and a lovely walk-through aviary which was full of native trees and quite beautiful.
Outside the aviary, seeing a tiny peacock chick with his proud and protective mum was pretty special, too.
A pretty decent way to spend both your time and $26 ?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had an exciting day at Hamilton zoo! It has lots of cool animals including cheetah, tiger, rhino. We missed the giraffe and gorilla tho (for next time!). Two adult tickets cost $52 and my little one (below 3) got in for free. We went around 12 o'clock and the zoo was not fully packed and pleasantly there was naturally shaded walks so we weren't burning in the sun. Overall had a great day, took us around 2.5 hours to get through the enclosures. I recommend this Zoo to people visiting Hamilton

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fabulous day out! Upgrades to facilities are great. So much to see and do for families and very reasonable cost for entry.
Plenty of areas to get out of hot sun and sit to rest.
Highly recommend to all.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Zoo full of animals with a good variety. Very interesting pathways with lots of board walks! Some areas felt somewhat unfinished however it is off season at the moment. To see all the animals the path you ave to take does involve a bit of walking back on self and to areas twice. Very inquisitive and friendly meerkats. Savannah enclosure was nice to see with all the different animals interacting together.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had a great time with the kids. Not too crowded. The animals were surprisingly interactive, especially the monkeys. I put my hand up to the glass and a baby monkey climbed all the way up and put his little hand on mine. The outdoor aviary is a great way to learn about indigenous plant species and spot NZ birds. I've been to a few zoos and this was the most seamless trip I've had. Make sure to bring a water bottle, hat and sunscreen. Snacks if you don't want to buy. It was a great day:)
