Treat Mum to a special experience at Auckland Zoo this year with a Deluxe High Tea at the iconic Old Elephant House.

Back by popular demand and with a brand new High Tea menu, this memorable event will be sure to impress your Mum (and you of course!). This year we have an incredible new pastry chef working magic in the kitchen to pull out all the stops to pamper your Mum.

Treat your Mum to an unforgettable day with an array of delicious food options that showcase the very best in indulgence and sophistication. Go traditional and indulge in a High Tea* accompanied by coffee or a pot of tea; or take things up a notch with a glass of Prosecco; and for a truly luxurious experience, celebrate Mum with a bottle of Mumm champagne (you know she's worth it) – can a Mother's Day High Tea get better than that?

If you have little ones treating Mum to a special day out, we've got them covered too with a delicious kid's platter of tasty goodies – check out the menu.

Getting there Te huarahi ki reira

If you’re driving the zoo is just a few minutes' drive from central Auckland. There is plenty of parking available on site. You can take a bus from central Auckland, with several routes stopping right outside the zoo. Alternatively, you can take the Western Line train to Morningside Station, which is about 30 minutes’ walk from the zoo.
