The service was great even though they were busy. My breakfast was served fast and was absolutely delicious. I had eggs bene w salmon w a side of hash browns. I left feeling so content. The matcha frappe was exceptional- I'm hooked for life on that drink now. I was served by a young lady ( I don't know her name but she had another job at a local pub alongside serving at RH), she was sensational. Happy, chatty and kind. Thank you team

It was a good experience for our family. Mike is an excellent pilot with lot of experience. We saw snow mountains and sunrise which are extremely beautiful view

Such a wonderful experience. Well organized and informative. The view from the top is amazing. Nick made it very special. Thanks

Apart from the ape exhibit most of the enclosures are fairly basic, but there's an honesty that's appealing about 'Orana Park'. I get the imoression that everyone at 'Orana' ie workers and volunteers alike are passionate and truly care about the park and its animals. The animal zoo talks were enjoyable particularly the lions. And you can feed the giraffes for free or get closer to the lions or feed the lemurs for an extra fee. It was great having the shuttle transport available too.

Very well thought out space for the animals. Allow plenty of time, the animal feedings were we'll worth the visit. Loved the giraffes. The Lion enclosure was extra, but too see them up close was amazing. Highly recommend visiting Orana Park.

Lovely staff, great care for the animals. Lot of them are volunteers and they can tell you many stories about the animals. We loved it to stroll along all the places.

I had an enjoyable time with the wildlife, taking in this rare experience of the open park. I sat down with 'Fuzu', the gorilla and watched the antics of the meerkats. Don't go with the idea of completing a race circuit in record time but allow yourself a couple of hours to take it in. Families of all ages can follow the presentations in the pamphlet or design their own! You will go away feeling good, especially if the weather plays its part.

It was a unique experience, the animals are much closer to us as there are no bars confining the animals. They have space to coexist. And even though we had to walk a lot, it was a lot of fun and the stroller they rent us at the entrance to carry the child is very functional.

I've been to animal parks and zoos all over the world, but I keep coming back to Orana because it's just so much more special, the conservation/breeding efforts and the respect that they give the animals allows them to live in the best possible conditions (while allowing the public ample veiwing). This park is the best example of how wild animals should be kept outside of the wild (and before anyone said that wild animals should only be in the wild! Loss if habitat makes that no longer an option!)

I love how awesome this place is with very close encounter with the animals and feeding! I would like to compliment the team there, they are lovely, friendly and so helpful! Shoutout to Cass, Pauline and the Rhino guy from Israel (sorry I don’t think we even asked him his name), and the lady at Farmyard! I have learned so much from them! Thank you very much for a great day!

We spent over 5hours in the park and still didn’t see everything, had an absolutely amazing time, the gorillas were breathtaking, the giraffes so elegant and the meerkats so cheeky Loved it

First of all I booked the wrong day! And the helpful people at reception had no problem getting me in when I showed up. Thanks loads! Had heaps of fun it's great being able to interact with the keepers and see them feed the animals.

I’m not a fan of zoos in general but when one makes it it’s mission to rescue and preserve endangered species it gets a big tick. The volunteers and employees are the backbone of this place and they really care about the animals. Highly recommend a visit to this open range zoo and spend big in the gift shop so they can continue to do their important work.

It was awesome to be able to feed the Lemurs and Giraffes

We spent 5 hours at Orana. Had a fantastic time getting close (behind barriers) to animals and a highlight was feeding the giraffes. So much to see and do. NZ is very spoilt to have Orana.

There is alot of amazing animals. A fun day.

Leisurely time amongst the wildlife

Wow what a awesome place we went years ago when you could drive your car around the park but now the place is better than before also went and feed the tigers in the cage and what an experience to do highly recommend this to do once in a life time experience to do this and just loved the whole park

Lots of room for the animals and awesome enclosures for them. Some of the enclosures were empty though which was ashame. All the animals looked happy though :)

Nice spacious park. Don't go when it's wet though. Most of the animals were hiding.

I went to this park on a rainny day but had a great time with my family. It was actually easy to find some animals as they were sheltering together from the rain ;-) Free shuttle service,friendly staff and most of all all the wildlife was so lovely and amazing! Worth spending a day by following their feeding schedule. I thought we would stay for about 3-4 hours from 10 am but literally left after 4pm. My top 3 there was very quite Otters, Gorillas, and Tasmanian devils♡♡♡

My young children ages 6 and 3 loved their outing. We were lucky to board the shuttle early on to see the whole park and help us decide which animals to spend more time at. The giraffes, barnyard and gorillas were our favourite. Great to interact with the gorillas for some time.

Such an awesome experience! I definitely will be returning. Best advice is to make sure you get there early and make the most of it. That was my mistake coming late we missed a few cool experiences because the park is so big with so much to see and do

Amazing animal encounters, got to feed the giraffes and see animals I never knew existed. Amazing staff, awesome cafe and so many close up experiences. Would highly recommend!

Well worth the money. Great food at the cafe

Really enjoy the different and very rare species of birds and animals i love that place Higly recommand this place Must do Thank you Orana Wildlife Park

Wonderful day, needed the whole day to see and do everything what great value for money

fantastic place to visit very friendly staff , orana park very well looked after

I was told by my daughter if you get a chance to go do it. She was so right. I also paid the extra to do the lion encounter will worth the extra to do it. Also a bonus the weather was chilly and the animals where more out and about. see the gorillas been feed is also a will worth thing to do, Had a great day out there.

Gorilla's and the Cheetah were our highlights. Great Cafe with a good selection Definitely Recommend as a place to visit in Christchurch

Me and my family really loved it it was so cool awesome zoo totally worth it and highly recommend this place if your looking to take your kids here do it they'll love it

Lovely wildlife park. Well spaced out enclosures.

Orana has a good collection of wild animals and the best part is that each of them get huge enclosures to raom about freely. We had a good time at the park checking out the wild animals. The highlight was obviously spotting the native Kiwi bird in the dark enclosure. Good experience and nice staff and volunteers.

I haven't been to orana Park in a few years. We went as a group it was my first time taking my 3 boys! I was disappointed at the how many enclosures were empty or closed etc. I felt there was a lack of animals. We also got there just before 11. Got to the marekat inclousure at 1045 and they had already fed them. The staff were lovely. The playground was fantastic. Didn't see the cheetah, spider monkeys were gone, no tazmanian devil's. The otters had no water. But those gorilla's were absolutely amazing. Honestly if it wasn't for them I would have been disappointed. But they definitely made the experience! So it wasn't all bad. Was planning on buying the yearly family consision pass. But after our visit maybe next year we will re consider we will definitely be back though

A special day, loved seeing Gorillas, feeding a Giraffe and the all th other animals. The bus ride around the park is very informative and I suggest you do that right around first. The food at the cafeteria was very good as well. Great day had by all.

amazing went to change to yearly pass but noticed they run june to june so will look at it in june :)
