 Zoo with a view, Wellington. by worldkiwi
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! Leave a Comment

Had a great time at the zoo with nephews. Can get a bit hot, and not much shade, but plenty sunscreen took care of that.

I have spent a lot of time at the Wellington Zoo because I grew up in this city. And I have seen it change from lions and tigers in tiny concrete cages to something way more animal friendly.
Back in my day we had pony cart rides, elephant rides, and gondola rides. Yes, that is right, gondola ride around the duck pond. Someone had donated a genuine gondola and lo - a gondolier who had fetched up in Wellington volunteered.
Me - I loved and was terrified of the elephant ride in equal measures. As you lined up to clamber onto the howdah the elephant would insinuate her trunk among the line of kids looking for a mintie. And then the strange lurch lurch lurch as around you went. And her bristly back and strong smell.
"It smells like the elephant house," was a family saying.
Anyway that is all in the past.
I had Australians visiting me and they wanted to see a kiwi so we off to the zoo. And we lucked out and caught the special presentation of a one legged kiwi. He lost one leg in a trap, poor thing, but he gets around fine and is now the star of the show.
So, you know, it is a pleasant place to visit now. Leave a Comment
