Zoo & Zealandia August specials

Just when you think we couldn't squeeze more into this month, wait, there is more.
Wellington Zoo (The best little Zoo in the World)


Wellington Zoo are doing $5 entry for Wednesdays in August.

If you get hooked and think you just might need to go back on other days, and why wouldn't you, you can join up on an annual pass.

We found the Zoo Crew Membership brilliant for our littlies. We bought the Kereru $90 (One Child and any One Adult) for unlimited entry to the zoo for one year. Under three year olds are free. You just need to decided which adult gets to stay behind to enjoy the 10% discount at the shop and Mojo cafe.

The Zoo also have a great options for birthday parties.  You can arrange sleepovers.  Experience a close encounter with the Cheetah, Big Cats, Giraffe or Red Panda.  Or have a zoo member give your party a guided tour.  This was very popular with all ages, and the adults learnt a lot too.


The Emperor penguin found at Peka Peka beach is currently being treated at The Nest - Te Kohanga at Wellington Zoo.


You can also view a live stream of the Happy Feet the penguin here.


Visitors are advised that the penguin will not be on display apart from during procedures at The Nest.
There are plenty of exciting things for visitors to see at The Nest – Te Kōhanga.
Each of the facility’s main surgical rooms features a viewing gallery, offering you a unique first-hand glimpse of the veterinary team delivering first-class animal care using state-of-the-art equipment.
All animal check-ups and operations between 10am–4pm each day will be on display, and the Zoo team will provide expert step-by-step commentary on live procedures twice daily. Children can also enjoy playing on a brand new sculpture at the site created by Wellington’s Weta Workshop.
