Kiwi Park in Queenstown is an absolute gem! I loved seeing the variety of birds, but it was the kea that truly stole my heart. These little guys are so cute and full of personality--just be careful because they have a tendency to bite if you let them get too close! Seeing the kiwis was a very special experience, though it's important to note that no photography is allowed for their safety, which I completely understand. We opted for the early bird tickets, but the wait for the first conservation show of the day was a bit too long for us, so we ended up missing it. Nonetheless, Kiwi Park is a must-visit for anyone who loves wildlife!

Nice peaceful park in the middle of town, with lots of different native birds (and some reptiles) to learn about and admire (even though I never was a fan of birds myself originally). You can learn about them and also some indigenous culture using their free audio guide, which is available in a few languages. The Kiwi encounter was in a dark room with 4 kiwis, where a staff member talks about the bird, unfortunately no photos allowed. The conservation show was interesting too, a staff member talks about a few types of animals (tuatara, kiwi specimen, rainbow lorikeets, kereru) and they put on an engaging display (birds from fly one end to another as the two staff advance up and down the steps). There also is free honey tasting in their shop which is definitely welcomed (though the staff there wasn't too nice to me....). They were chill about me using my entry for another date as well - definitely should come when in Queenstown!

Had a lovely time at Kiwi Park :) The park itself feels cozy and inviting, with selections of honey products on display (from which we bought a jar of manuka, royal jelly and bee pollen), and an audio guide to allow making your way around a bit easier. The animals themselves seemed to be happy and well-cared-for, which I always like to see. All the staff there were kind and welcoming, and clearly knew a lot about what they were doing. We got to see multiple Kiwi birds, which was certainly a highlight of my time in Queenstown. The team cares a lot about them, ensuring a calm atmosphere and suitable habitats for each bird. They were also clicker training a possum, which is awesome. A 10/10 day spent well, and I recommend this place to you all :D

We were thrilled to see the kiwi birds up close! (But they are night creature, so the viewing room will be super dark, if you have problem with mobility, be very careful when navigate around). As a nature lover, I was excited to learn about the conservation efforts being made to protect these unique and endangered species. The park is home to a variety of New Zealand's rarest birds, including the kiwi, kakapo, and more. The park itself is situated on a slope, which can be challenging for those with mobility issues. While the scenery is stunning, the uneven terrain and steep paths made it difficult for us to navigate without assistance. If you're planning to visit, I would recommend arriving early and taking your time to ensure you don't miss any of the exhibits. If you're planning to visit Kiwi Park Queenstown, be sure to check the show times before arriving. We missed the education session due to misjudging the timing. It might be well worth planning ahead to ensure you don't miss this unique experience. Overall, Kiwi Park Queenstown is a must-visit for nature enthusiasts and anyone interested in learning more about New Zealand's unique wildlife. While it may not be suitable for everyone due to its sloping terrain, it's an unforgettable experience that will leave you with lifelong memories.

Kiwi Park was exceptional and should be on everyone's list of top things to do/see while visiting Queenstown! The staff are friendly and so knowledgable. I learned so much from the audio tour but I would highly recommend the two shows (kiwi encounter and conservation) as you will gain a better understanding than with the audio tour alone. I spent a bit over three hours there and truly enjoyed each minute of the park. It's a beautiful place with a beautiful mission and you can feel good about spending money in their gift shop, as it all goes back to helping the conservation efforts.

A lovely morning out, takes a couple of hours to walk around the whole park but is very informative. There are headsets you can borrow to hear about each enclosure in multiple languages or you can download an app and listen to it on your phone. They have a free WiFi you can connect to. They do regular kiwi talks and conservation talks to let you know about the projects they're taking part in and to educate you on what they're doing to help NZs wildlife. The ticket is valid for 3 days and allows multiple entries if you want to return.
