    Wellington Zoo is small, but superbly located on the slope of a forested hill. The chimpanzees have a fabulous view from their enclosure, as you can see in the photo. The reason why this little zoo is a must visit place though is the Kiwi house. It has to be the best in the country (or at least the best I've ever been in). The kiwi are actually running around loose in there. Walk slowly and be quiet and they will appear in the darkness. We couldn't believe it when one ran across the path in front of us. Where was the glass?! It was also the first time I've heard Kiwi sqwaking. They seemed very happy as we watched them drinking from a little dish in the ferns. Brilliant!

    Check out the animals @ Wellington Zoo, the oldest zoo in NZ (almost 100 years old), from endangered species to NZ native wild life. It provides natural habitat environment for all the animals. The zoo is also actively involved in international captive breeding programmes for both native & exotic endangered species. The zoo opens daily from 9:30am - 5pm, except Christmas Day. There are keeper / guide talks of different animals starting from 10am daily. Check the Zoo entrance board for locations & time. Prices (detailed prices available on their website): NZD$10 Adults NZD$5 Children (age 3-16)

    No elephants or hippos at the zoo, but well worth a visit anyway. Nice place to bring a picnic lunch. Here's me posing with one of the zebras.
