Orana Wildlife Park
Orana Wildlife Park has an excellent walk-through native bird aviary, a nocturnal kiwi house and a reptile exhibit featuring the wrinkly tuatara. Most of the grounds are devoted to Africana, including lions, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, lemurs, oryx and cheetahs, and Asia is well represented with an array of Sumatran tigers. Guided walks start from the native bird feed at 10.45am and around the African lion enclosure at 2.30pm. The Orana Wildlife Park shuttle departs Cathedral Sq at 10am and 1pm daily.

Ko Tane
Ko Tane at Willowbank Wildlife Reserve features traditional dancing, a wildlife tour and buffet dinner. You could forego the wildlife tour and/or dinner for a cheaper night out – the performance is $48/24 per adult/child. Another option is to incorporate a paddle in a traditional waka (Maori canoe) with Katoro Waka Heritage Tours, also based at Willowbank.

Southern Encounter Aquarium & Kiwi House
Southern Encounter Aquarium & Kiwi House, is beside the i-SITE and has eels, seahorses, turtles and other marine life with specific feeding times. Don’t expect too much from the kiwi enclosure, as the endangered birds are hypersensitive to sound and light.
