Is Orana Wildlife Park Worth It for Families?
Orana Park is NZ's only open-range zoo and one of the best in the Southern Hemisphere. You ride through the African Savannah enclosure by bus while lions, giraffes, and rhinos roam alongside. Hand-feed the giraffes at 2pm daily. Excellent native wildlife section too.
Pricing note: African Zone safari bus included
