Fun place for kids
Awesome wee place for a look around. We enjoyed our visit. Our son enjoyed catching and releasing the crawlies. The kiwi was a funny wee character, jumping and running about. Th only issue we had was there was no wheelchair access to see the eel feeding (this was upstairs). Friendly staff who clearly enjoy their job and love the animals.

Thank you for your review - we are really pleased you enjoyed your visit. We apologise for the limited access to the eel feeding, this is something we would like to be able to remedy in the future. Kind regards from the team @ The National Kiwi Centre, Hokitika

Hidden gem
You would never expect a place such as this right in the town center. It really was great and we got to hang out with male kiwi for about half an hour which was amazing. We have never been this close to one. Would certainly reccomend it and it was a last minute booking which we found of book me. More affordable on there than the normal entrance price.
