Auckland Zoo is a beautiful, well-kept sanctuary with amazing animal habitats and friendly staff. Watching the giraffes up close is a highlight, and the lush setting makes every area worth exploring. The Old Elephant House tea room is perfect for a relaxing break with great food and coffee. A fantastic day out for families and animal lovers alike!

Auckland Zoo is such an awesome place to visit! The enclosures are well designed, the animals look happy and healthy, and the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. It’s a great day out for all ages — plenty to see, beautiful scenery, and good food options too. Definitely worth the visit

Excellent zoo - Book the tour! The zoo is very well maintained and the animals look healthy and happy and have an option to remove themselves from display if desired.
