Description
Welcome to the Kiwi Birdlife Park, Queenstown's central wildlife sanctuary and home to the iconic kiwi bird. Nestled in the heart of New Zealand's adventure capital, this Queenstown wildlife park is a haven for nature enthusiasts and bird lovers alike.
The Kiwi Birdlife Park is dedicated to the conservation and preservation of New Zealand's unique birdlife. And as the only kiwi bird park in Queenstown, this is a truly immersive experience where you can get up close and personal with these fascinating creatures.
As you step into the park, you will be transported into a world of native flora and fauna. Explore the lush native forest trails (with the help of a map provided on entry), where you can spot a wide variety of bird species. If you join one of the daily conservation shows at the Kiwi Birdlife Park, knowledgeable guides can provide you with fascinating insights into the behavior and habitat of some of the park's fascinating residents.
Within the park, you will discover a custom-built Kiwi House - this is where the kiwis live! There are special Kiwi Encounters run throughout the day by the professional wildlife team, so come on in and enjoy this rare opportunity to see a kiwi. Remember that these birds are nocturnal, so while it's daytime out in the rest of the park, the Kiwi House will be dark as if it's nighttime - this is so that you can have the best possible viewing experience!
In addition to kiwis, the Kiwi Birdlife Park is also home to a diverse range of other native New Zealand wildlife. From the cheeky kea (the world's only alpine parrot) to the adorable tuatara (a living dinosaur), there is something for everyone to marvel at.
Whether you're a family looking for a fun day out, it's a rainy day in Queenstown or you're simply curious about New Zealand's incredible birdlife, the Kiwi Birdlife Park in Queenstown is a must-do. Surround yourself with New Zealand's native wildlife and join the mission to protect and preserve these precious creatures for generations to come.
