About
New Zealand’s first zoo, Wellington Zoo, is a hillside conservation paradise that leaves visitors with a sense of wonder and respect for nature, and a belief in the need for a sustainable co-existence between wildlife and people.
Chat to our vets as they treat native wildlife at The Nest Te Kōhanga, the Zoo's state-of-the-art animal hospital; meet Tahi the one-legged kiwi and our rescued little blue penguins; watch keepers feed Sumatran Tigers, Malaysan Sun Bear and our cheeky troop of chimpanzees; and book an intimate Animal Experience with the red pandas, capybaras, meerkats, giraffes, and sun bear.
Enjoy a range of tasty snacks and beverages from Mojo Cafe and The Grazing Post, and browse the Zoo Shop for the perfect souvenir.
