Queenstown July 24 - I've been to quite a few Kiwi houses and parks around NZ. I must say the kiwi house is one of the better ones to actually see the Kiwis. U definatley need time for your eyes to get accustomed. Mine took about 10 mibs so get there early. Other birds and reptiles are great to see and the information sheets are great. My $55.00 pass got me 3 days in there

Very nice place! Good for family! - We see the live kiwi in the kiwi house, it is so cute! My children thought they are small dinosaurs! And the Mandarin audio equipment is also very friendly to children who can not listen to English

Great park showcasing NZ's native wildlife - The Kiwi Park is situated right next to the entry of the skyline and Gondola. It has all the native wildlife birds and lizards including the very cute Kiwis thag you can see in the dark. It also has gift shops and a honey shop. It is great value for money, really beautiful and educational.

Up close and personable with a Tuatara. - The Kiwi Park is well set out and carries a variety of wildlife. Headsets in different languages and a map is available to help navigate the 5 acre bush. We were delighted to see you can actually step into some of the bird cages. One of the highlights of our visit was seeing Kiwis and listening to a talk about Kiwi conservation in New Zealand. The finale of our visit was watching the interesting conservation show. We were able to get up close and personable with some of the animals seen on our tour. A great introduction to New Zealand's wildlife. Allow 2 to 2.5 hours.

A good introduction to Kiwi Wildlife - I visited the Kiwi Park with a student and really enjoyed the experience. The park is well maintained and set out on 5 acres. Head sets in various languages were available and a map to navigate the walking track. A variety of birds and reptiles are included. The highlight was seeing a kiwi and listening to a talk on kiwi conservation in New Zealand. At the end of the walk we attended the Wildlife Conservation show and managed to get up close and personable with a Tuatara. Allow 2.5 hours, wrap up warm in winter as most is outdoors. There's a gift shop and cafe.
