Everyone must try this! My son really enjoyed the tour around kiwi park.
Spent 2.5 hours walking around the park. Alll birds are easy to see and are very close to you. Kiwis walk right in front of the glass. The tuatata at the live show was the highlight. The grounds and trees are beautiful I loved the serenity and peacefulness. IIt was Fabulous.
In the kiwi house, there were only two kiwis. It seems there can be a maximum of three at any one time. The kiwi show was of interest. Children need to be kept quiet, so as not to disturb the birds. No photography permitted at all for same reason. The grounds of the park are confusing. The map provided is not 100% accurate. Worse yet, there are no directional signs, which would be an easy fix. Several other bird species are on display.
Fun day out with the kids. Very informative and interesting.

You won’t get closer to a Kiwi!
Beautiful park, up close and personal with all the birds and great Kiwi Encouter - lovely family friendly activity that wasn’t too busy. Some of the walking tracks a little steep which was fine for us but might be challenging for others but they are short. Would definitely go again!
