A great day out with the family and kids

I felt the day went really well despite the bipolar weather throughout the day. The behind the scenes hatchery was quite special, especially seeing a 2 day old kiwi in an incubator. However the tour was cut short as no scientist were in the laboratory at the time, which was disappointing. The park tour was also good, but felt the guides could mumble or not be very clear about some of the facts at times.
