Great family fun A++

My kids loved it. Awesome for rainy days. It's better than using my couches for trampolines, it saves a lot of wear and tear lol

???

Staff were very friendly. Kids had a great time!

Staff were amazing environment was fun and the kids and big kid had a really good time we will definetly be back in the future

Wow what a awesome place we went years ago when you could drive your car around the park but now the place is better than before also went and feed the tigers in the cage and what an experience to do highly recommend this to do once in a life time experience to do this and just loved the whole park

I’m not a fan of zoos in general but when one makes it it’s mission to rescue and preserve endangered species it gets a big tick. The volunteers and employees are the backbone of this place and they really care about the animals. Highly recommend a visit to this open range zoo and spend big in the gift shop so they can continue to do their important work.

It was awesome to be able to feed the Lemurs and Giraffes

I love how awesome this place is with very close encounter with the animals and feeding! I would like to compliment the team there, they are lovely, friendly and so helpful! Shoutout to Cass, Pauline and the Rhino guy from Israel (sorry I don’t think we even asked him his name), and the lady at Farmyard! I have learned so much from them! Thank you very much for a great day!

First of all I booked the wrong day! And the helpful people at reception had no problem getting me in when I showed up. Thanks loads! Had heaps of fun it's great being able to interact with the keepers and see them feed the animals.

Apart from the ape exhibit most of the enclosures are fairly basic, but there's an honesty that's appealing about 'Orana Park'. I get the imoression that everyone at 'Orana' ie workers and volunteers alike are passionate and truly care about the park and its animals. The animal zoo talks were enjoyable particularly the lions. And you can feed the giraffes for free or get closer to the lions or feed the lemurs for an extra fee. It was great having the shuttle transport available too.

Great day out with the kids. You can walk around the park or grab the shuttle. You can doing and see everything in your own time. A nice family day out with some cool experiences.

There is alot of amazing animals. A fun day.

Very well thought out space for the animals. Allow plenty of time, the animal feedings were we'll worth the visit. Loved the giraffes. The Lion enclosure was extra, but too see them up close was amazing. Highly recommend visiting Orana Park.

Leisurely time amongst the wildlife

It was a unique experience, the animals are much closer to us as there are no bars confining the animals. They have space to coexist. And even though we had to walk a lot, it was a lot of fun and the stroller they rent us at the entrance to carry the child is very functional.

I had an enjoyable time with the wildlife, taking in this rare experience of the open park. I sat down with 'Fuzu', the gorilla and watched the antics of the meerkats. Don't go with the idea of completing a race circuit in record time but allow yourself a couple of hours to take it in. Families of all ages can follow the presentations in the pamphlet or design their own! You will go away feeling good, especially if the weather plays its part.

We spent over 5hours in the park and still didn’t see everything, had an absolutely amazing time, the gorillas were breathtaking, the giraffes so elegant and the meerkats so cheeky Loved it

We spent 5 hours at Orana. Had a fantastic time getting close (behind barriers) to animals and a highlight was feeding the giraffes. So much to see and do. NZ is very spoilt to have Orana.

I've been to animal parks and zoos all over the world, but I keep coming back to Orana because it's just so much more special, the conservation/breeding efforts and the respect that they give the animals allows them to live in the best possible conditions (while allowing the public ample veiwing). This park is the best example of how wild animals should be kept outside of the wild (and before anyone said that wild animals should only be in the wild! Loss if habitat makes that no longer an option!)

Very nice zoo with close encounters. Only down was that the Lion experience is closed and that was not advertised anywhere. Animals presentation and feeding is a must. A nice way to spend half the day.

Amazing animal encounters, got to feed the giraffes and see animals I never knew existed. Amazing staff, awesome cafe and so many close up experiences. Would highly recommend!

Orana wildlife Park was absolutely amazing! We went at 1h30pm and wish we went earlier. There is so much to see and do. The Cafe has this beautiful view over the Giraffes and Rhinos while you enjoy your lunch. The staff were friendly and helpful especially on the shuttle. We will definitely be back!

Visited Orana Park yesterday with my girls and we had a blast. Beautiful, sunny day for it (plenty of shade around the park.) Got in early at 10am to beat the lunchtime crowd but I'd recommend timing your visit a little later as most of the animals were still sleeping or hadn't had their morning coffee yet. Zzzzz..... Speaking of coffee, one star off for the very weird tasting latte (sour milk? ... Maybe Yak milk?)

Great service

My young children ages 6 and 3 loved their outing. We were lucky to board the shuttle early on to see the whole park and help us decide which animals to spend more time at. The giraffes, barnyard and gorillas were our favourite. Great to interact with the gorillas for some time.

Absolutely amazing an the staff are equally awesome very helpful and would answer any questions would highly recommend

What a big place. You need lots of time to see it all. Good selection of animals. Friendly staff with plenty of feeding times where you can participate. Amazed that I could feed a giraffe for no extra cost. Fabulous experience. Appreciated saving some money to attend especially as it's a distance out of town.

Love Orana Park I have visited many times, was happy to see some cheetah's as well as the Tigers, this is one place I would visit many times

fantastic place to visit very friendly staff , orana park very well looked after

?

amazing went to change to yearly pass but noticed they run june to june so will look at it in june :)

We spent 4.5 hours here. We followed the feeds and got to learn a lot about the animals from the keepers. It was cold because its winter so dress warm. We went on a Monday and hardly anyone was there. So a good day to go. Loved sitting watching the gorillas, they were definitely the highlight of the day
