Auckland Zoo

We love Auckland Zoo! It was one of the first venues we visited in Auckland and decided to get an annual pass straight away. We have had so many fun times at the zoo. The animals seem to be really happy and it is very well laid out.
Matilda's favourite activity at the zoo is going into the maze of underground tunnels that go though the meer cat dens. You can pretend to be a meer cat by poking your head up, at various places, into viewing domes...very cool!
Harry's favourite are the "Mummy and Daddy" seals. You can view them swimming underwater which absolutely thrills Harry!
Other highlights include the elephants, tigers and lions.
Just as you leave the zoo there is the kiwi bird house. I am sure most of you know this fun little bird is the national emblem of New Zealand. I find this slightly intriguing considering the kiwi bird cannot fly because it has no wings, it cannot see with its eyes, only comes out at night and is becoming extinct...not sure what this says about New Zealand!
