Franz Josef - West Coast Wildlife Centre VIP Guided Backstage Pass Tour

Beth North said... The advertising for the backstage pass was that we would see baby animals being incubated - however, no kiwi or other eggs have been received by West Coast Wildlife center in the last few years, and no more are expected. So instead more than half of the "VIP Tour" was sitting/standing in a small room where the guide talked to us and showed us some displays. While some of the information on the program was interesting, it was NOT WORTH the extra money and was WAY too long of a session. BUT the second part which we were rushed through was looking at the Tuatara was very interesting. I would suggest the advertisement for this program be revised and the price reduced, and the time greatly shortened.

Not as good as advertised

Experience the amazing West Coast Wildlife Centre, home of the rare kiwi, complete with a guided backstage tour and fascinating Tuatara Encounter!
