Had a pleasant visit to this very small free zoo but didn't spend long as there wasn't much for older children there. Would be best enjoyed by families with very small children.
Can't think I have ever seen such a well cared for zoo. You could have swum in the otter pool. All the animals were lively too which I always think it shows their well being . We loved it . Staff were friendly too and interested. Free too !
I don't know how anyone can fault this beautiful family friendly zoo.The park is always clean, bright and active and now even has a coffee shop!!As a mum I think it's a fabulous place to go with children. Its so nice to have a clean and child friendly place to go where your child can run about and use their imaginations at the same time as learning. There's a big play park in the middle and the best part is its always free to visit! Where else has that to offer? It's a lovely place to visit friends, walk to for an outing or host a birthday/picnic as it caters for most ages. I have had fond memories of this zoo since being a little girl and would recommend it to anyone.
What a surprise this place was, & a massive asset to New Plymouth. The staff were great to talk to & the variety of animals was great too. The huge playground had a variety of activities, so all ages were catered for. A bonus to have the friendly coffee lady there too.
Nice little zoo for the little ones & next door to Pukekura park for great walks for the bigger ones. & now with the addition of mobile cafe for cuppa breaks, I love the woven elephant family made of willow hope it'll be permanent display.
This place is great for the kids. Definitely going to revisit with the grandchildren. Plenty of room to picnic and the animals were well looked after.
This was free and called a zoo but there were very few animalsAnd I wouldn't make the effort to go unless you were at the Brooklands Bowl and had children. It might be fun for children as they had a nice playground.
Given this is free to attend it is a great asset to the city, we attended as a family group and there was something for young and old. There were a couple of exhibits being refurbished which may have been better done after the holiday break. easy parking and good clean facilitied
Like visiting this place as kids have fun in here.Neat playground for kids.well maintained zoo and the garden .It's free too.
Free access and lovely animals. Great way to spend a bit of time in the lovely New Plymouth gardens.
