Been in different zoo in every country I visited but this zoo is one of best.. It’s a Beautiful Zoo, Management spend a lot of effort in making this zoo as one of the best zoo soon. There’s an on going expansion for the animals to have the best atmosphere as possible.. The zoo is really huge and has lots of space where you can do picnic with family. Animals has also great area to roam around. Even adult will surely enjoy their time there. It’s a perfect place family day out.

Love this Zoo. We got there Early so we got a good Park. Bookings are essential at the moment. Food was OK though they did seem a little stressed as there was a large amount of people. All up the Animals seem happy and healthy and you are more likely to see them out and about if you go early.

We love the zoo and are annual pass holders. There are lots of renovations happening but the changes are fabulous. We enjoy every trip we make and enjoy watching the delight on our grandsons face seeing the animals. Each trip gives us a different experience. Congratulations on having lovely warm volunteers. We love their stories.🦒🦜🦆

Amazing day to go the Zoo, wasn’t too sure of the parking so we parked a minute away on Motions Road which turned out to be the best considering how busy it was. We were lucky to see most of the animals but missed seeing some, probably as it was so hot for the animals. I would suggest booking a time (booking is essential in orange) before 3:30 as it would be hard to see the entire zoo before it closes at 5:30. Looking forward to seeing the new additions.

What an amazing day out! Absolutely loved it! Zoo used to mean to me "animals in uncomfortable cages". This place had such a great vibe when it comes to this. Beautiful layout and the map of the place (get with ticket) makes it super easy to make sure you don't miss anything. Notice timetable of interest - certain times of the day at various corners of the zoo - interactive education. There are plenty of facilities such as toilets and refreshments. Lovely restaurant in the centre of it all. So much choice and variety! My favourite, were kiwis as I am not from NZ so it was a must, and I am a big fan of red pandas so visited the cute firefox once more before we left. Go visit and have fun!
