Take a peek into the lives of fascinating wildlife at Nelson's Zoo & Wildlife conservation centre!
Round up the family and gear up for a day of fun and discovery at Natureland Wildlife.
Get up close and personal with a mix of exotic and native wildlife such as Tuatara and Kea, and learn all about their unique lives. The kids will love hanging with the monkeys and getting hands on with a range of interesting domestic animals.
You'll also have the opportunity to learn about the ecosystems in the Nelson-Tasman region and the conservation efforts being made by local people and groups.
With an emphasis on conservation and preserving endangered species, you'll take part in supporting the vision of this community based charitable trust with each visit - providing a one of a kind experience for all!
We had a great time, the meerkats were a favourite because they were very social and interactive. We watched Holly the Kea find and show off with a hard boiled egg. The staff were great, answering our questions about her and Kea in general.
Went with two teenage girls and we have a lovely time. The Kea talk was really interesting and even got to have one perch on my shoulder. The animals are well cared for and the staff obviously love them too. Definitely worth checking out if you have a love of all things natural.
Staff couldn't be less interested. No real ambiance here and half the place was closed, under construction or "coming soon". Not worth it.
Good little mini zoo would allocate 1 1.5hrs there, can pick a picnic and chill under the covered table areas. Not too bad on a hot summers day as thereās lots of trees around for shade and shelter. Can feed the animals which the kids always love. Small play area with sandpit and trampoline too.
