A wide variety of interesting animals in a more natural habitat than your average zoo. Lots to see and explore and the shuttle was a good option for those with slightly less mobility. We spent 3 hours there and could have easily spent another hour or two. Informative talks and signs.
We had a fantastic day out at Orana Wildlife Park! I went with my family, and a friend, and there was truly something for everyone. It’s such a well-laid-out park with plenty of space for the little one to run around and see the animals up close. Our toddler absolutely loved it, and it was a perfect way to spend the day together. The highlights for us were definitely the lions, gorilla's and the giraffe feeding. It’s a brilliant spot for a family group—highly recommend it for a fun and enjoyable outdoor day in Christchurch.
Really sad, barely see animals went around 1, also some animal encounters are so far you need binoculars to see them. Zoo is run down, needs a massive upgrade haven’t been back since I was in primary school, and it looks the same from 20 years ago except run down. Food was good, keepers were awesome, but the animals seem depressed, tiger feeding time was sad, literally just chucked a box of meat for them to rip open.
The best time is to come after lunch time as the animal feeding activities start at 1pm. It was exhausting but fun.

Orana Park
It was a lovely day with my Grand kids and we loved being involved and watching the animal feeding. The three year old managed quite a lot of the walking with a bit of help from dad and the wee trolley bus the goes around the park.
