Hamilton Zoo is a spacious, modern zoo set in 25 hectares of lush grounds, home to more than 600 animals from New Zealand and around the world. It is renowned for its conservation efforts, particularly with native species like the North Island brown kiwi and kea, which you can see in dedicated enclosures. The zoo's walk-through aviary and free-flight bird shows bring visitors close to colorful parrots and other birds. Exotic highlights include Sumatran tigers, white rhinos, and spider monkeys. The zoo also offers behind-the-scenes encounters and a playground for children.
