Zoos & Wildlife in New Zealand

Getting up close to animals is a day the kids will talk about for weeks. New Zealand's zoos and wildlife parks are home to everything from kiwi and tuatara to lions, meerkats and cheeky kea, often with keeper talks and feeding times you can join in on. It's a great mix of fun and learning.
