Natureland Zoo

　　Natureland Zoo is situated in Nelson, the capital of the Nelson region, close to Tahuna Nui Beach. It is loved by children because, aside from viewing local wildlife, they can also see animals from around the world, which broadens their horizons and increases their knowledge.

　　The zoo aims to protect animals while fostering environmental awareness in children. In addition to regional species, it is home to animals and birds from Africa, Australia, and South America, including kea parrots, honeyeaters, yellow-fronted parakeets, tuataras, geckos, skinks, monkeys, otters, turtles, rhinos, deer, and more. Children can get up close to and even pet and hug smaller animals such as wallabies, ferrets, llamas, alpacas, kunekune pigs, and peacocks, which brings them great joy.

　　Natureland Zoo is open daily from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM, with the last admission at 3:45 PM. It is open year-round except for Christmas Day.
