Introduction

Auckland Zoo, located 10 minutes' drive from the city center of Auckland, is the home of the largest collection of native and exotic animals in New Zealand. In addition to common animals such as lions, tigers, leopards, elephants, seals, and peacocks, there are also unique animals such as kiwis, flamingos, little blue penguins, stoats, ostriches, and New Zealand giant lizards, which are overwhelming for visitors. The most interesting thing is the opportunity to observe and interact with the animals up close, such as feeding giraffes or parrots. Guide maps are available for purchase for NZD 2 or can be downloaded as an electronic version online. It is a great destination for families with young children and provides an unforgettable animal experience. The Western Springs Park (commonly known as Duck Lake) next to the zoo is free and open to the public, where you can see black swans, wild ducks, and seagulls.
