  • My family had a great time at the Kiwi park. We got to see 4 Kiwi birds and many other creatures. The conservation talk was great and we got to get up close with some animals. I would recommend...

  • Great place doing awesome conservation work. They breed and raise kiwis till they are self-sufficient and release them to the wild. Very interesting kiwi feeding and conservation show too. Suitable for adults and kids alike! Family-run park without government funding, deserves to be supported! Suggest you plan at least 1.5 hours for this visit!
  • A lovely conservation park with a range of beautiful animals, it is a family run animal park that supports and looks after the local animal, ok you came here for Kiwis and yes they do have Kiwis but because they are nocturnal creatures they are kept in the dark, what might be a good idea is to give visitors night vision glasses to see them better. All in all the staff are well trained and really care for the animals. I do recommend checking this place out.
  • I really don't know y is it called a Kiwi Park. Hardy ever saw a kiwi bird. House 1 and 2 had no kiwi birds as those were released to wild. That was what the notices displayed. Few birds are there. Couple of fish too. A cafe and a gift shop was there. I doubt whether it worth the price. Follow their timing displayed if u want to have a chance to see kiwi bird. But there were few in a dark room. Yet could not really see one well.
  • We loved going here. Both the conservation show and the kiwi house were awesome. They have several shows a day, so look at their website to be sure when it is. Nice that they do all this for the birds. First time we saw kiwis in real life. Nice place, worth to go there.
  • Awesome experience for nature lovers. Wonderful conservation, native rewilding, quality animal welfare and training and informative shows and audio tour. Really worth the price which allows them to continue conservation efforts. Lovely up close encounters with very special birds and reptiles.
