Super funny and cool animals ranging from all over the world! And the galapagas tortasus are my fav and the kiwis the spiders are also a good thing to look at.

Great zoo! The habitats are all really nice but hardly any animals. Many large cages with seemingly just one animal (or sometimes none). We did enjoy the animal shows - very educational.

Three very busy Kiwis raced around their nocturnal enclosure - so excited to see them! That’s why we headed to zoo. Discovered NZ does have snakes - they just call them kraits, and met a fellow older than dinosaurs! Pink Flamingoes always impress too. Disappointingly, public transport not easily accessible from Harbour - so we gave up looking for bus stops, tram or train options and caught an Uber. Really set up for those driving…

We arrived early and there was already a lot of people arriving. I wouldn't go any later in the busy summer period as it got quite crowded before we left. We enjoyed the animals but quite a few enclosures we couldn't see the animals, e.g. red panda, tiger, alligator. It's set in nice surroundings and is a nice walk. The food is very expensive so take your own!

We visited the Auckland Zoo on the first day of 2025. It is a new year treat for our two grandchildren. An impressive zoo with many wild life to see. There are NZ Acteearoa, Africa Safari Track, Southeast Adia Jungle Track, South American Rainforest Track and Australia Bush Track. Need to spend the whole day if want to see all. We managed only NZ, SEA and African Tracks as we have another venue to visit. There are cafes for mesls and drink, children playground and toilets at every corner. Great outing it was.

Great zoo, We went to see the kiwis, but the rest was good too, divided into geographic areas. I liked the aerial ropeways for the primates. Good coffee in the cafe too. We got the hop on hop off bus there and back.

Great zoo! Large enclosures for animals, really fun shows/animal encounters, and a cafeteria with surprisingly good food. There are zoo volunteers at many of the areas that will give you great info on the animals. Make sure to go to the bird show, the keepers fly them right over your head and it was very informative. I also loved the NZ animal encounter show, where you can get up close to the giant weta bug.

Auckland Zoo is underwhelming. Its animal diversity is lacking, and the parking and seating facilities are insufficient, leaving much to be desired for the elderly, families, and other visitors. The food options are few and far between. The Scenic Gardens walk, on the other hand, is a delight. I bought my ticket online, which was a convenient and cost-effective choice. However, there was minimal interaction between staff and visitors. I give it a 5/10 rating and would recommend it with some reservations.

Pair of tigers, deers, sambals, hippos are all phenomenal to watch. Penguin enclosure is nicely done up. But cudnt enjoy watching them since they don't allow to stand and observe peacefully. It's felt like we were in Mumbai local trains wherein the push and shove actions were plentiful. U enter yourself but u exit on the crowds push & flow. Hardly cud click pictures It was that quick and smooth.

Took the bus from Central city to the zoo less than 30 minutes. I spent almost 3 hours at the zoo such a large place to discover and see mostly everything was open. There was also a lot of shops and restaurants available. Kiwi experience was a bit difficult to see because it was in the dark. Overall great experience.

Absolutely amazing! Staff members are very welcoming and friendly, there’s plenty of activities during the day and a couple of cafes/restaurants. Prices for food are quite high, but that’s expected in such places. Many animals to observe. They look comfortable and happy in their large, free and clean enclosures. I usually don’t enjoy zoos, but this is an amazing place to spend your day. Highly recommend!

Recently spent a few days in Auckland before heading off on a tour by train. We spent several hours at the zoo after going there on the hoop on hop off bus service. The zoo was well set out and had a wide variety of animals and birds, however the purpose built kiwi enclosure still left it almost to view the nocturnal birds. the various regions of the world were well defined and ammenities easy to find. Would definitely rate it as well worthwhile if visiting Auckland although would not be the major reason for visiting.

I have mostly been avoiding zoos for years as caged animals are depressing, but I wanted to see an kiwi and NZ is the place. And what a place. Lots a habitat for the animals. It’s like peeking over a neighbor’s fence. It took some patience, but I saw kiwi. Way cool! Plus a Tasmanian devil and some animals I had never heard of, like a tuatara. That’s a reptile around since the Triassic (before dinosaurs).

Some good bits but wayyyyy less animals than there used to be. Very little information provided about the animals, too. Disappointing, won't be back any time soon

Auckland zoo is situated near Western Springs quarter of Auckland and entrance charges to the zoo was NZ $ 29. The Zoo is 40 acres in size and opened on Saturday 16 December 1922.The Zoo is separated into divisions pertaining to the region of the origin of different animal species exhibited. On entering the zoo there were direction indicators to various sections of the zoo .Was enchanted by the unique and expensive artificial climate controlled "Tropical Dome" section of the zoo that housed tropical plant life and different animal and fish species at a constant temperature of 28*c.In the New Zealand section got to view the nocturnal Kiwi. Excellent Zoo for spotting species found only in New Zealand which is normally not exhibited in zoo's across the World.I saw the Kiwi for the first time in my life having visited the World's best zoo's in Europe and Asia.
