Review & FAQ:

Located in the heart of Wellington in the city's green belt, Wellington Zoo is home to more than 500 animals, some of which do not live anywhere else in this country. You can visit the only bears in New Zealand, tigers, lions, giraffes, meerkats, cheetahs, lemurs, red pandas and many more. Watch the zoo vets work on saving native wildlife or meet an amazing endemic tuatara up close and personal. Walk through the new precinct “Meet the Locals He Tuku Aroha”, a home to native wildlife such as korora little blue penguins, bees, kunekune pigs, eels, Otago skinks, kea, and Maud Island frogs. You can see Australian animals from across the ditch, such as kangaroos, emu, wallabies and emu, dingo and Tasmanian devils.
