Great attraction.

Great little zoo for all ages. It also has feeding times and playgrounds to keep those little ones busy! The animals are super friendly and love to be looked at. I recommend it highly

Very disappointed

Very disappointed. Arrived late in Nelson due to traffic, so entered the next day. They ignored the customer's situation with unkind manners and we paid extra at normal price . Plus a local poor zoo with nothing more to see than when we visited years ago. Never planning to go again.
