Wellington Sights

  1. Wellington Zoo

    The well-maintained Wellington Zoo has a commitment to conservation and research. There's a wide variety of native and non-native wildlife; outdoor lion and chimpanzee parks; and a nocturnal kiwi house, which also houses tuatara. Check the website for details of 'zoo encounters', which allow you to hand-feed giraffes or red pandas (for a fee). The zoo is 4km south of the city.
