Bonne surprise

Réserve très bien agencée, les animaux semblent très bien traités. La visite nous a pris 2h. On ne s’attendait pas à autant apprécier la visite.

Un parc à ne pas manquer !!!

N’hésitez surtout pas à vous y rendre si vous êtes de passage à Christchurch. C’est un parc qui mérite largement d’être visité!

A faire absolument !

On a été agréablement surpris par le parcours tout au long du parc, les animaux etaient classés par catégorie. A l'entrée, vous pouvez acheter de la nourriture pour les animaux. Lors du parcours, les canards s'approchent de vous, on a pu aussi voir 3 kiwis dans le noir. Notre visite nous a pris un peu près 2h.
