Excellent
Highly recommended, a great way to see kiwis. Lovely park, a little oasis from the hustle and hustle of Queenstown. Friendly and informative staff. The conservation show was spectacular! Nice little gift shop/cafe to finish off a brilliant visit, with lovely items including honey products from their own bees! Thank you for a great experience!
We were a little disappointed in the park for the price. When you compare this dollar for dollar to Zoos it was a small park and only birds and the Tuatara. Both were great to see but an overpriced encounter. Glad we got to see the Kiwi
A nice way to finish our stay in the Queenstown area. Hard to see some exhibits and animals but that's to be expected with shy nocturnal mammals.

Hidden Gem
We never knew this amazing bird park was nestled away below the skyline gondola complex. A beautifully laid out sanctuary, informative conservation talks, friendly, helpful staff. Highly reccommend taking the time to visit Kiwi Park.
