Entry is NZD $45 for adults and NZD $20 for children ages 3-14, with discounts if bought online. The park showcases native NZ wildlife including kiwi, tuatara, and wild trout in crystal-clear springs — the underground kiwi house viewing window consistently delights young children. Open daily 8am-5pm (last entry 4pm); the Big Splash water ride is included in admission for kids over 90cm. Paths are wide, paved, and fully stroller-friendly. Allow 2-3 hours to see everything; the native bird aviary near the entrance is often rushed past but worth slowing down for.
