Treat mum to a special experience at Auckland Zoo with a Deluxe High Tea at the iconic Old Elephant House.
Our chefs have whipped up two delicious High Tea menus; this memorable event will be sure to impress your mum (and you of course!).
There are two main packages to choose from – ‘standard’ High Tea complete with unlimited luxury teas from Harney & Sons, or take things up a notch and go for the ‘premium’ package which includes everything in the standard High Tea and a glass of Prosecco.
For those who like to go all-out, celebrate mum with a bottle of Mumm champagne (you know she's worth it). Can Mother's Day High Tea get better than this?
If you have little people treating mum to a special day out, we've got them covered with delicious pancakes with bacon, banana and berries – check out the menu.
$82 per adult. $39 per child (4-14 years). Auckland Zoo entry is included in the Mother's Day High Tea ticket price. Auckland Zoo Members receive 15% off with valid I.D.
Pre-booking is required, bookings close Thursday 30 April 2026, unless sold out prior.
We are pleased to offer two menus, one to accommodate gluten free and vegan dietary requirements. Please note that no additional modifications can be made to the menus.
Proudly part of the Auckland Council whānau
