Nice experience on a rainy day
Interesting exhibition and seeing live Kiwis made it worthwhile. Good cafe with plenty of choice

Kiwi House visit
Fantastic experience at the Wildlife center. The Kiwis were right in front of us, walking around in the enclosure. No glass barrier. It wasn't busy that day, we were the only people and got a chance to spend as long as we liked. The entry is valid for 48 hours, we could have come back as well. The staff were great, the ranger talked to us afterwards about the Kiwis. All in all a brilliant time

Overpriced
Overpriced. I do, however, understand that some of the money is going towards the conservation of the Kiwi. There were two Kiwis in the centre, we could only see one. Very dark, but that’s the environment they live in. Surprisingly bigger than I expected and was quiet active.

Enjoyable experience
We were pleasantly surprised by this. It felt a bit like a small, local museum with interesting information about much more than the kiwi. The tuatara were a bonus too. A enriching way to pass time on a rainy day.

A place that you can see kiwi
The center is not a big one but you will get a chance to see kiwi moving around. Staff are very friendly though.
