When we arrived at the centre, we were greeted with warm and welcoming staff who gave us some places to visit for the remainder of our Roadtrip. The centre itself is fascinating, especially with the eel feeding and kiwi’s to view. The staff are very friendly and take their responsibility to keep the animals safe very seriously. Would visit again and would definitely recommend it to anyone in the area :)

Absolute Weiterempfehlung!
