β β β β β A decent zoo that took about 2 hours to walk/explore around with a 5 year old. The animals seem relatively happy and well cared for. Parking can be tricky as they donβt seem to have a car park. Convenient to the city.

β β β β β Was a great afternoon! Didn't see all the animals we were hoping for, but those we did were great. Also a fan of the conservation and breeding programs they're a part of!

β β β β β I have mixed feelings about this zoo. It is clearly well kept, but many animals have very low space to stay and they go round and round and round... also, having all these slopes does not help... the zoo itself is quite small with not so many animals, but the slopes make you feel tired quickly. Probably a more flatter spot would have worked better. It also lack of a proper carpark space. It shares the carpark area with the near Newton Park which, hosting sports events during weekends, makes it very difficult to find a spot for your car.

β β β β β Parking is frustrating, thought there would be more animals. Good price though, tiger feeding was great and the giraffes pen was great, got really close to them.

β β β β β the zoo is usually my favorite place but today was really disappointing ? didn't see half the animals that were supposed to be there and alot of the ones we saw were very sad looking. stopped to have some food with the kids, the hot chips were $10 so we asked how much do you get cause we had to feed 5 people. then they chucked this box (literally chucked it in front of us) so we were like sweet 2 boxes will feed all of us..............then we opened the boxes and they were 1/4 full. if you charge a ridiculous price for food there should be a good amount!!! ESPECIALLY WHEN CUSTOMERS ASK FIRST ?

β β β β β This zoo is amazing with so many different animals I think i prefer this one over Auckland zoo or Hamilton zoo here they have lions, otter and even a sunbear.
My son loved patting the sheep and I enjoyed patting the kangaroo. We went on a quite Monday and found some animals to be very friendly and social coming up close.
The entrance fee was very good for the experience and the souvenir shop has a decent amount of affordable items.
The staff were great too very friendly, informative and helpful.

β β β β β Took my children to Wellington zoo for the first time. Great service, they all got a map and the extent of the zoo is limitless. Bug city, giraffes, penguins, monkeys, birds, bears and many seating areas, picnic tables and interactive play options for children of all ages. A great place to spend an entire day with the family.

β β β β β They don't have Elephants and Rhinoceros. But what they have there are all well kept, big spaces for animals, clean areas and tried to keep them as in their natural environment as possible. I think it's not so friendly with people with wheelchair though. They were building place for Snow leopard, will definitely go back to see snow leopard.
