It was a good zoo to visit. We were told to come here and not go to the aquarium in Auckland. It was a bit on the expensive side for zoos, it was $24 per person, according to their map it used to be $28.50. I think partially because they are doing some serious remodeling/ construction. You supposedly get a discount purchasing online before coming to the zoo.



Got turned around at the zoo a bit. Most of the animals looked like they had decent enclosures.

The zoo was pretty well maintained. Staff were friendly. Stopped by the food place in front of the construction, $9 for fish and chips (one piece of beer battered fish, frozen) and $12.5 for chicken sandwich (2 patties fried with sauce already on it). No charge food was being given to some customers who were friendly with a staff member behind the counter.

They were loud and boisterous. My husband had asked for a couple things, and was ignored while the friends chatted up the employee.
