We all enjoyed a lot. Kids had fun watching animals and playing in the playground
Great
My visit to Natureland Zoo in Nelson was, unfortunately, a major disappointment. The zoo was undergoing maintenance, which wasn’t communicated beforehand, and as a result, there was very little to see. The limited exhibits didn’t come close to matching the vibrant descriptions promoted on their website. It felt like a waste of time and money, as the entry fee didn’t reflect the drastically reduced experience. I’d recommend checking for maintenance updates before planning a visit, as this was far from worth it. Rating: 1/5
Small well kept park.

Lovely wee Animal Sanctuary to visit in Nelson
I had an overseas visitor staying with me who loves animals, so we visited today for about an hour and a half. It was a great experience, especially seeing some of our NZ wildlife as well as other animals. The meerkats were a hit as well as the kea encounter.
