Enjoyed seeing kiwis and other animals in the park. Learned a lot too!
I loved the enclosed talk. The presenter was so knowledgeable. The layout was easy to get around, even for my friend who is having trouble walking
Loved to see the three kiwis in their own environment, as well as the NZ native trees, shrubs and special birds that can only be found in this country. Close to the gondola as well
Very interesting park. Map wasn't very accurate though and we never got to see the Tuatara. Kiwi were very cool and loved the Kea.

Great if you want to see Kiwi
Great little park. All of the birds are great but the Kiwi are amazing. It does take your eyes at least 15-20 minutes to adjust to the dark when you go into the Kiwi display but it is worth it. There are 1 hour timeslots and we stayed the full hour. Most people had left by then so we got some amazing time to watch the Kiwis dig and run around. They are so cute.
