I love Auckland Zoo! It is honestly one of the best Zoos I have ever been too. I equate as similar to Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo, and better than Taronga Zoo in Sydney, or Australia Zoo in Queensland (no offence Australia, New Zealand Rocks!)
The best bits of Auckland Zoo?
The African enclosure sets the whole thing off amazingly, walking around at the same level as the giraffes head is an experience, and hand feeding them adds to it... watch out for the drool tho!
The Meerkats are another amazing exhibit. You get to crawl through tunnels under the meerkat enclosure, then pop up into domes where you can see the Meerkats at work and play, and even have them walk right past your face! Amazingly well done, and so unique.
The rest of the Zoo had real highlights, from the Cafe - Darwin's... to the kids zone with things to climb, and the rest of the animals, well worth a visit, and the absolute best price for any Zoo I have been too, we've been twice so far, and will go again!
Leaves a nice smile on your face :)

I agree, the zoo is very cool. Have you been to MOTAT?
ReplyDeleteWe haven't been to MOTAT yet, it's on the list! The kids have been with school excursions, and they loved it. There is so much to see and do here :)
