Auckland Zoo

Enjoy a day at the zoo!

Daily Keeper Encounters allow you to come eye to eye with some awesome native and exotic animals and you can also experience the expanse of the African plains with Pridelands. Watch the graceful movement of the giraffe and see zebra, rhino and springbok quietly grazing. And why not journey through New Zealand's unique coastal habitat. Experience the fragile eco-system of New Zealand coast complete with little blue penguins, sealions and shore birds.

A range of experiences are available for you to get up close to the animals including the ZOOM tour.

The Auckland Zoo has a Conservation Fund that contributes to helping save some of the world's most endangered species including native New Zealand birds and our iconic tuatara - which at 225 million years old, is the world's oldest living dinousaur! Internationally the Auckland Zoo Conservation Fund helps fund programmes to save the cheetah, Sumatran orangutans, Sumatran tiger, Vietnamese turtles and more.
