Spent my last day in Wellington walking around this lovely zoo. Took advantage of one of the animal experiences and the staff were so wonderful and knowledgeable. The variety of animals makes this place well worth a stop and the kids will love the Australia zone where you can see Kangaroos up close (just stay on the path).
