This was a lovely wee spot, with the most hilarious animals. It was a cooler, wet day when we went, so some animals weren't as active as they could have been, but other people have said that they're usually really active so it was probably the rain. You can tell that the keepers really care about the animals, and do their level best for them. It's fun to feed the farm animals, and Gemma the Houdini goat was a source of great amusement!

Absolutely amazing experience. I loved the walk, the staff were helpful, and it was a treat to feed the animals. I do however have a complaint about one member of staff, Gemma the goat who jumped over the fence rather uncouthly and chewed my mother's purse. I think it would be good to have a meeting with her and let her know its very unprofessional behaviour to try and steal food pellets from me and her coworkers.

Cool animal park in Tahunanui! Didn't cost the earth to get in and was definitely worth the money we paid. The animals were well kept.

Awesome place to be! I could spend all day here. Staff were super friendly. Kids loved watching the monkeys be fed and have their obstacle courses changed around.
