Excellent Family fun
Kids loved the fishing and the eel feeding and all the exhibits of fish and kiwi house. Unfortunately the glow worm display wasn't available which was slightly disappointing. Overall a lovely experience.

Excellent experience
Best place I have been able to see Kiwis. Also had the chance of feeding eels. Friendly staff, relaxing environment, not a typical busy touristic place. Recommended.

Kiwis!
We finally got to see 2 cute Kiwis! Fun place to be at , and worth the money as it contributes to the cause. Must be a riot with kids.
