Hi Molly, wonderful to have you along for the first time! Unfortunately due to safety we cannot allow people to get right up close to the exotic animals like the Siamang Gibbons, but we do offer Lemur Encounters where you can feed our lemur troop. We hope to see you again soon
Nina Coulthard from United Kingdom wrote on 28 February 2020
Wonderful wildlife
A wonderful range of wildlife to see in lovely natural settings. Just the right of simple information about each so as not to be overwhelming. Inevitably some inhabitants were not keen to be seen but most could be located somewhere, even if not where marked on the map. It was disappointing that there was only one kiwi on the whole kiwi house and he(?) Was extremely difficult to find,so in that respect didn't quite live up to its claim to be he best kiwi viewing experience in NZ. Allow plenty of time and go slowly. I spent 3 and a half hours wandering.

Made our Willow's day.
I am so glad I took Willow (7). We drove from Dunedin and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. So much to see and so many animals to interact with. Very friendly staff and a great wee place. Will be back again

We think Willowbank's pretty awesome too. Thanks for visiting us recently!

Lots of family fun.
This was first experience at Willowbank. There were alot of interactive animals which was cool. Unfortunately by 3.30 in the day all the animals seem to be over human interaction, fair enough. haha. So I would suggest going earlier so you can catch the feedings etc. Overall a pretty good experience would be nice to get a bit closer to some of the more exotic/not farm animals they had.
