A lovely surprise
My granddaughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our time. The best part was feeding the farm animals. We were too scuuuurred to feed the eels lol so we gave our mince to some kids who loved it. A much nicer experience than visiting the zoo. Will come again next time I’m in Christchurch.

Great day out!
What a perfect place to see and interact with wildlife! Kids very engaged. Easy to navigate and lots of animals out. At a leisurely stroll, it only takes 2 hrs...and that's at a very easy pace, could get through in 90 minutes if you're pressed for time. Would recommend to all ages and animal enthusiasts.
