Orana Wildlife Park

I can't believe there are so many positive reviews. I visited here again last week and was extremely disappointed. The entry price is extemely dear considering how run down the place is these days. A few exhibits had no animals in them, the farmyard was half empty. It seems uncared for and unkept. Not impressed for the price you pay to enter.

Lots of animals to see and they all have big, open enclosures (not like zoo enclosures). There is a lot of walking, but the shuttle bus comes around fairly regularly, and has a handy commentary on the animals and park in general. The animals are great (especially the gorillas), but in general the park is starting to look quite run down and a bit neglected, and could do with a bit of a spruce up.

We have a yearly pass to Orana Park for our family this year and absolutely love going. The park is tidy, well laid out and has large enclosures for the animals. Our favourite exhibit is the gorillas, they’re just amazing to watch.

Lots of animals in the open. Great fun with the children. The staff are lovely and the shuttles go around every half an hour. Definitely among the best zoos I have been to.

Love taking the kids here. It's a great day out. You do need to allow a whole day. Lots of animals to see and feed through out the day. Staff are very friendly. Highly recommended.
