Fabulous Day out. Spacious with lovely tree lined paths. Not too crowded even in Dec. We learnt lots about the animals and the conservation work of the zoo. Opportunities to get close to birds and giant ortoises. Highlight was the bird flying show.

Not as good as the one in Taronga Zoo Sydney , but still a good zoo. Another thing the New Zealand 🇳🇿 exhibit is great 👍. Also the they a great penguin exhibit too . Lastly I could go here again.

This is our happy place. Expansive areas that are well organised and spaced. Tons to see and animals to get to know. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. It is great for both kids and the kids at heart. We love going here so much that we decided to become annual members, where we get to use anytime. Our entrances are now free and we also get discount on the food and beverage. :)

With much expectations visited the zoo. May be due to summer many animals were not visible. The Information Centre and ticketing were efficient. The African Safari was probably the best sight with Giraffe, Zebra, Ostrich, Rhonoceros,Nyala etc all could be viewed far with enjoyment.Love birds and the springs added beauty. Monkeys and birds were of limited views. The Waterhole cafe was beautiful with views of flamingoes and lions. Only one Elephant was seen.Free daily keeper tales of Flamingo. Kiwi, Spider Monkey and Red Panda were amazing.Enjoyed many facilitis like Rest room, Pay space,Water fountain etc. Food at Elephant House was delicious.Beautiful trees and shades added pleasure.

Auckland Zoo has some amazing animals to see and it's a great way to spend a few hours with the family. It's certainly not as good as the Aussie Zoo but still a worthwhile option. Parking can be a nightmare, I suggest getting there just before opening to ensure you actually get a parking space.

Give yourself a nice chunk of time here. At first, I barely saw any animals, but with a little patience, I was able to spot most of them (and they have handy signs with hints for seeing some of them). The staff was very helpful and friendly, and the free animal encounters were a great touch.

Great day out. Excellent facilities. Love this place. My favorite is the elephant, but they have a large array of animals to view. Special guides speak to you covering all questions you may have. Love this place.

Auckland zoo was exceptional. I visited the zoo to see a few animals that I would not typically see in the states. Parking does cost based on the length of time you select from the meter, however, you can also park on the side of the street before turning into the parking lot, which I believe is free. I was really impressed at how clean and well manicured everything looked throughout the zoo. The greenery/plants stood out to me in comparison to the dryer climate I'm used to.

Auckland zoo, has a number of sections showing animals from different regions of the world . It’s well organised and easy to move around , idea for all ages . Some the New Zealand’s endangered species can be found here , Kiwi, Kaka and Kea birds, Tasmanian Devils to name a few . Prices are very reasonable.

Having been a member for over 5 years, I have been constantly impressed by the passion and commitment towards conservation at Auckland Zoo. The animals are exceptionally healthy both physically and mentally. If I were an animal, I’d love to live here too. There are few tips I’d like to share with the savvy traveler. First, do not buy the Tip Top ice cream next to the lion and elephant enclosures. I know it’s the most exceptionally beautiful spot to take a break with the water feature for children to play in. And is a good spot to sit down for a break and watch the animals. If you have kids with you then let them get ice cream. But if you’re an adult with adult sensitivity’s and if you can wait a little more, there is ONE Kapiti ice cream stand further into the Zoo. This is the premium ice cream of the Zoo! Next, although the main cafeteria is satisfying, it is a crowded with typically a long wait. Ideally, pack a picnic and bring a blanket since the Zoo is one of the few places where you can picnic within the premises! If you can’t picnic, please go eat at the Elephant House restaurant over the cafeteria. It is an exceptionally renovated restaurant with an underrated bar and a real chef who prepares the most delightful dishes. Their salads are fresh, local and deliciously healthy. If you’re a local, I cannot recommend the membership enough. Not only are you helping to support the premium NZ animal refuge, but you get discounts on everything on an ongoing basis that delivers significant value.
