N’hésitez surtout pas à vous y rendre si vous êtes de passage à Christchurch. C’est un parc qui mérite largement d’être visité!
Très bonne expérience, possibilité de nourrir certains animaux. Et une chance incroyable de voir des kiwis !
Thank you Juliette! We are pleased that you enjoyed your visit
Petit zoo très bien étudié ou nus avons pu voir un kiwi… Cheminement de la visite très bien fait, à recommander.
On a été agréablement surpris par le parcours tout au long du parc, les animaux etaient classés par catégorie. A l'entrée, vous pouvez acheter de la nourriture pour les animaux. Lors du parcours, les canards s'approchent de vous, on a pu aussi voir 3 kiwis dans le noir. Notre visite nous a pris un peu près 2h.

Bonne surprise
Réserve très bien agencée, les animaux semblent très bien traités. La visite nous a pris 2h. On ne s’attendait pas à autant apprécier la visite.
