Debuting a vibrant new menu at the Old Elephant House, be the first to join us celebrating Diwali at Auckland Zoo.
Indulge in a high tea that blends the warmth of Indian sweet and savoury delicacies with some surprising twists on a delectable traditional high tea.
Classics like samosas and jalebi along with toasted potato sandwiches and curried cauliflower soup shots, is only the start of what will make this a truly unique way to honour the Festival of Lights.
And what would it be without tea? Choose from masala chai (cardamom ginger tea) or our Harney & Sons Tea range.
Bring your friends and the whole whānau to come together for a meal and explore the lush gardens and wildlife with all day access to the Zoo. Plus, every time you book with Auckland Zoo, you're supporting our conservation efforts in Aotearoa New Zealand and around the world.
$82 per adult. $39 per child (4-14 years). Auckland Zoo entry is included in the Diwali High Tea ticket price. Auckland Zoo Members receive 15% off with valid I.D.
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.
