Calling out to all the big meat eaters!

If you love bbq meat, this is the place to go to! Great meat selections and side dishes. Tapped out on the first full round. Definitely a must try! Don’t be fooled by the look of the small portions on the plate, the food is constantly refilled, you can have as much as you want on your specific favourite skewers. 5 stars for the customer services too!

Good Food Worth the price

The food is really good. How it works is that they will bring the food around the tables and you just tell them whether or not you want the food. To get your money's worth I would recommend avoiding the chips as they made us really bloated after it expanded in our stomach. The desserts are a must try even though it is extra cost. Avoid the churros and dessert shot, but the other 3 is a must order. The grilled pineapple and fried bananas are a must try, especially since it is on the menu. Just note that the food overall is a little on the salty/more seasoned side so you might get thirsty quite easily. Definitely wort

Got to see some very special birds while visiting my young sons. Staff are very approachable and knowledgeable. Enough opportunities for photos.. Apart from the kiwis which I was so happy to have seen! Definitely worth a return trip next time I'm visiting NZ.

Have been coming here since I was small and Willowbank never disappoints. It's always on my list of an attraction to bring my visitors to in Christchurch! Budget 10 extra dollars for eel, bird and farmyard feeding!

Besides the cold welcome, thumbs up

So bookme specifies that we can come half an hour or less before (or after) the time stipulated on the booking for this business. The girl was FAR FROM PLEASED that we had exercised this rule. She was quite frankly, a word that rhymes with witch and I quite unimpressed with her professionalism, nevermind we had flown to CHCH and had been spending quite a bit of money in her region that we needed to save a bit here. We also weren't offered a map, there was no formalities whatsoever. With that aside, my 7yo loved the place, I think this age group would thoroughly enjoy this place, possibly 7-10... the toddlers were exhausted a quarter of the way round (just from observations). We really enjoyed all the animals and obviously all the little baby chicks who were all very cute and the teenager ducks being scolded by their mothers frequently. The Kea's were awesome, I'm pretty sure they're slowly plotting their escape. Was sad to see some very distressed quail's stuck inside, with their friends taunting them inside. I would recommend, even if we had a terrible entrance. Luckily we did come early because it took us 2.5 hours to walk around and the place closes at 5pm. We finished at 4:30pm.

Great interaction for the kids

This is such an awesome place, a great interactive experience for our young children. We were a little late arriving at 4pm and the lady at the counter was quick to tell us we only had an hour. We didn’t mind but thought she could of been a bit more friendly

Great way to spend an afternoon (and see a kiwi!)

I had less than 24 hours in Christchurch and Willowbank was my first stop. I was not disappointed. Like many others, I'm sure, my priority was to see a kiwi. Which I did! But there's so much more there and I encourage visitors to take the time to explore. I was particularly mesmerized by the waterfowl, and probably spent a bit too much time hanging out with the wallabies (only because it was getting to be closing time. I could spend forever with wallabies). I was by myself, but it looked to me like the kids who were there were having a great time, too.

I thoroughly recommend visiting the Ko Tane experience, with Kiwi tour and Hangi. It was our last big experience before my parents head home to the UK and we finished on a high! The explanation of everything was great and the food was as fantastic! It was a lovely touch that my dad was selected as visiting Chief. I can’t recommend this enough!

Had a great time wandering along the path and enjoying the beautiful setting. As it was around 3pm, I was nearly alone most of the time. I extremely enjoyed the kiwi exhibit as I saw 3 different birds after my eyes acclimated to the dark. The barn is surely a great place to go if you have kids! Loved it!

Always love going to Willowbank I think I may just buy a concession, every time you go back it’s still just as amazing as the first time - great for kids, great for first dates 😘, great for taking some time in nature to yourself. Worth the price, it takes me a good few hours to wander through and have a coffee etc! Feeding the eels is definitely my favourite part
