There is a plethora of wildlife unique to New Zealand which makes the zoo scene in the land of the kiwi a great spot to take the family. Multiple zoos, such as Auckland Zoo and Otorohanga Kiwi House and Native Bird Park are available within manageable distances. These are not your typical zoos however, they are expert at bringing the customer experience as close as it can get, these zoos offer experiences to meet and pet endangered animals like Cheetahs and Galapagos Tortoises, “Fin, Noggin’, Duuude!”. Not to mention, there are rare chances offered to feed Kiwi’s (the bird, not the fruit).
