Gut um den Kiwi zu sehen

Sehr freundliches und hilfreiches Personal, der kleine Park ist gut angelegt und man kann die Tiere alle einfach sehen. Ein guter Ort um den berühmten Kiwi zu sehen, vor allem Abends in dem Nachtgehge. Allerdings muss man was Geduld und gute Augen mitbringen ? Generell finde ich leider, das einige Tiere zu wenig Platz haben. Für mache Tiere gibt es größere Gehege, aber einige, wie z.B. die Eule können nur auf dem Ast sitzen und noch nicht mal ein Runde fliegen. Wer die Möglichkeit und Zeit hat den Kiwi in der freien Wildbahn zu spotten, sollte dies definitiv bevorzugen.

Lohnt sich!

Die Anlage ist sehr gepfegt und sehenswert. Besonders die Kiwi Ausstellung und das Gehege haben uns gefallen. Für kinder ist die Anlage Klasse, da es viele Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten gibt. Einziges Manko der Eintrittspreis - aber der ist ja für die Kiwis.

Rainbow Springs

Der Park ist besonderst für Familien geeignet, aber es ist auch eine prima Gelegenheit endlich mal das Tier des Landes kennenzulernen. Die Austellung ist wunderbar gestaltet. Und dann endlich in den verdunkelten Räumen, habe ich Kiwis gesehen. Klasse! Ein tolles Erlebnis und prima zu erreichen und sehr freundliches Personal!

Schöner ausflug

Schön um vögel zu sehen. Kann mir vorstellen dass es schön ist mit kindern. Würde es nicht für 40$ machen aber mit discount ist es ok. Die wasserbahn ist auch ganz cool

Okay

Eher klein und nicht so außergewöhnlich. Wahrscheinlich spannender wenn Shows gemacht werden. The big splash ist nicht so aufregend, wie er klingt, nur am Ende geht es einmal runter. Das ganze Gelände hat man in weniger als zwei Stunden durch.
