Wellington Wildlife Park, New Zealand

Welllington Zoo – 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 9.30 am - 5.00 pm. 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 1:15 pm 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.

Close Encounters bring animals and people together—choose from a big cat, cheetah, red panda or giraffe Close Encounter. 10% of all proceeds from Close Encounters go towards conservation projects administered through the Wellington Zoo Conservation Fund.

About Wellington

Wellington City is compact and interesting, nestled between a dramatic harbour and bush clad hills. Great views can be found at the top of Mount Victoria, or by catching the cable car up to the Botanic Gardens. Downtown Wellington is ideally explored on foot. Made up of four quarters each with their own distinct mix of shopping, cafés, transport, accommodation, Wellington's intense urban experience is unrivalled in the country.

The central city area of Wellington is the place to see performing arts, particularly ballet, theatre and musical performances. Local cuisine is sophisticated and inventive—an abundance of excellent cafés and restaurants are within walking distance of all the major hotels. The waterfront has been transformed into a graceful promenade with shops, restaurants, activities and elegant landscaping making it a real drawcard for visitors and locals alike. The new state of the art sports and entertainment stadium is just a short walk from downtown.
