Great family fun A++

???

Staff were very friendly. Kids had a great time!

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

Cracking flight with Jono at GCH. Great instructor, very helpful for someone’s first flight in the driving seat. Would definitely go back again to these guys. Get yourself booked in ....

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

There is alot of amazing animals. A fun day.

Leisurely time amongst the wildlife

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.

I haven't been to orana Park in a few years. We went as a group it was my first time taking my 3 boys! I was disappointed at the how many enclosures were empty or closed etc. I felt there was a lack of animals. We also got there just before 11. Got to the marekat inclousure at 1045 and they had already fed them. The staff were lovely. The playground was fantastic. Didn't see the cheetah, spider monkeys were gone, no tazmanian devil's. The otters had no water. But those gorilla's were absolutely amazing. Honestly if it wasn't for them I would have been disappointed. But they definitely made the experience! So it wasn't all bad. Was planning on buying the yearly family consision pass. But after our visit maybe next year we will re consider we will definitely be back though

Lovely wildlife park. Well spaced out enclosures.

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?

Well I'd have to say this is amongst the best wildlife places in NZ. Alot of walking, do be warned but there's also a shuttle incase. Saw alot more animals than expected, daughter was happy on her birthday. Definitely recommend going.

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.

Well worth the money. Great food at the cafe

Lots of room for the animals and awesome enclosures for them. Some of the enclosures were empty though which was ashame. All the animals looked happy though :)

Wow what a fantastic wildlife park, we thoroughly enjoyed our morning there, highly recommend a definite must do in Christchurch ?

Highly recommend doing the lion encounter. Lovely grounds and animals well cared for. Loved the cheeky keas!

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

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!

?

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

Wow i havent been to orana park since i was around 13 Im now 31 and the experiance is still as amazing as it was back then Being in nature around animals is a magical experiance. We need buses to go there so we can go more often

Such an awesome experience! I definitely will be returning. Best advice is to make sure you get there early and make the most of it. That was my mistake coming late we missed a few cool experiences because the park is so big with so much to see and do

Great service
