Bring the whole family, take your time and wander around our native bird park. The most intimate kiwi encounter in New Zealand. There are currently two specialised kiwi nocturnal houses, a huge dome aviary, walk-through wildlife enclosures, ponds, wetlands and tree-lined paths.
No matter when you visit, you’ll find something interesting happening around the Park
Up Close and Active
When our kiwi are younger, we display them in specially designed nocturnal enclosures where the day and night cycles have been reversed.
Visitors to the park can see these young kiwi during the day carrying out their normal kiwi behaviour such as probing for insects and earthworms in the soil, bathing in the ponds, and digging burrows or climbing logs. The enclosures have native plants, leaf litter, soil and logs that host a wide range of invertebrates and fruits which make up the majority of the kiwi diet
