'Where you can walk and talk to the animals’ 15 mins from Napier or Hastings, the zoo is recognised as one of the region's leading attractions for both tourists and groups. You can enjoy close interaction with the animals in a clean, safe environment. We have animal food, Pony Rides, lamb feeding & the farmyard express train. As well as offering a wide range of animals and a great family outing, we also run Horse Trekking and 4x wheel Surrey Bike Hire to local beach-side wineries. We have a substantial play area with a pirate ship & a new indoor birthday area. There are tables and BBQs in the picnic area, able to accommodate larger groups such as birthdays, work functions and Christmas parties alike. The best value for money family entertainment in Hawke's Bay.
