Kiwi Birdlife Park

Park with nocturnal kiwi and native birds

⚠ No photos in the kiwi house

Hours: Daily about 9am–5pm (to 5:30pm in summer); closed 25 December
Tickets: Adult NZ$55, child NZ$28, family NZ$136 (travel-site listing; may change)
Address: Brecon Street, just below the gondola base

Just under the gondola base, forest paths lead past enclosures of native birds. The highlight is the dimmed kiwi house, where once your eyes adjust you can spot kiwi probing the ground. Keepers give talks at set times through the day, so plan around them. A full loop takes a bit over an hour.
