Willowbank Wildlife Reserve

Willowbank Wildlife Reserve has lots of animals that you can hand feed with a focus on native bird life and it is best known for its excellent kiwi tours. Unlike other kiwi houses that have glassed-in enclosures, Willowbank allows you to see the kiwi without any glass for a more natural look at this unique and rare bird.

They shouldn't call this place a reserve. They should call it what it is: a zoo. I was expecting an actual reserve. Large and wide where the animals roam around.

Get a year pass if you think you're going to go more than once, or find a friend with an entertainment book voucher. $28 for adults otherwise.
