Fantastic fun, excellent guide, knowledgeable, amazing and fun filled time, stunning views, must do !!!!

We had a amazing tour with our guide Don! He has good knowledge about the area and we learnt alot from him. The scenery was breathtaking when he brought us right to the top of the hill, simply amazing! Would highly recommend anyone to take this tour and i am definitely sure you would enjoy it. Thanks Don for being so friendly and looking after us alot especially on our safety.

Thank you Don for looking after us and making us feel 100% safe on the quads! We were a group of four ladies, all beginners, and Don made made sure we knew what we were doing and were confident before our adventure began. We all had an absolute BLAST and oh my word the scenery is BREATHTAKING!!!! My friend commented that it truely is NZ on a plate!!!

The best tour we have done in New Zealand. Don our guide was amazing.

Had the most incredible time on the 2 hour summit peak tour! Me and my partner were made comfortable very quickly and were taken on an exciting afternoon quad biking (our first time too!) learning about the areas around and our tour leader Ash taking lots of photos for us. Would 100% recommend and we will definitely be going back again. Thank you ?

It was a good experience for our family. Mike is an excellent pilot with lot of experience. We saw snow mountains and sunrise which are extremely beautiful view

From the first hello and the walk through the collection of antiques, thru a great ride, to a fascinating chat about jet boat racing, the whole experience was 5 stars The ride was exhilarating, the scenery breathtaking, and the snippets of history and geology fascinating.

It was an amazing experience and the view was breathtaking! We even were served scones and drinks up there :)

I loved being able to have the chance to gallop through some paddocks and the views and photos made everything an amazing time. He took very good precautions on everyone according to there skill level and made sure everyone was enjoying themselves.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

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

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!)

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.

There is alot of amazing animals. A fun day.

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

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.

I was told by my daughter if you get a chance to go do it. She was so right. I also paid the extra to do the lion encounter will worth the extra to do it. Also a bonus the weather was chilly and the animals where more out and about. see the gorillas been feed is also a will worth thing to do, Had a great day out there.

?

Wonderful day, needed the whole day to see and do everything what great value for money

We really enjoyed it! We fed the giraffe! Was awesome

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

Lovely wildlife park. Well spaced out enclosures.

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

I loved this place the animals are so well cared for and the open spaces makes a huge difference. The staff were helpful and friendly and if you follow the feeding routine interacting is more likely. We took our toddler and there was also a farmyard section which I think small children would enjoy. Overall a fantastic experience and we would definitely return next time we are in Christchurch thanks Orana park we loved every minute Xx

The lions were amazing! We went with our baby who is not quite a year old and she had a great time looking at all the animals. We had some trouble locating the toilets near the gorilla display .. walked all the way back to the entrance trying to find them. Not sure if we missed the rest of the signage or if they actually were a 10 minute walk away from the signs on the gorilla building?
