The best little Zoo in the world
A magical place of learning and fun, Wellington Zoo will enhance your sense of wonder, respect for nature, and belief in the need for a sustainable co-existence between wildlife and people. Home to New Zealand’s native treasures and endangered exotic animals, Wellington Zoo is open 364 days a year, every day except Christmas Day, from 9.30am-5.00pm. We’re located at 200 Daniell Street, Newtown, Wellington; catch the number 10 or 23 bus from the city.
Meet Tahi the one-legged kiwi
Visitors to Wellington Zoo have the opportunity to see a kiwi up close every day at 1.15pm when Tahi the one-legged kiwi will be in the Wild Theatre as part of a demonstration with a Zoo guide to answer your questions afterwards. Tahi is a great advocate for his species - hear the story of this plucky little kiwi, and how he lost his leg, from our guides.
Book a unique Close Encounter
Looking for a truly unique animal experience? Then roll up your sleeves and prepare to meet some of Wellington Zoo’s most vivacious, loveable and quirky creatures.
