Open Weekend

Get Wild for Open Weekend! On the 18th & 19th of May you'll be able to visit to Zealandia and Wellington Zoo for a $2 donation per entry.

All proceeds from the weekend will go towards Zealandia’s ongoing conservation and education efforts and the local and international field conservation projects supported by Wellington Zoo.

Last entry:
Zealandia: 4pm
Wellington Zoo: 4:15pm

Entry:
$2 donation for entry per person (please bring appropriate change).

Getting there:
Please consider using public transport as we expect both venues to be very busy and car parking to be limited. For your best public transport option see www.metlink.org.nz.

Zealandia
We are expecting more visitors than a normal weekend so please think about using the public transport. Parking at Zealandia will be limited and parking along Birdwood Road, Moana Road, Chaytor Street, Curtis Street and in Northland is recommended. The ZEALANDIA free shuttle will be operating from the Cable Car.

Wellington Zoo
We are expecting more visitors than a normal weekend so please think about using public transport to the Zoo. There’ll be extra buses to the Zoo from the Wellington Railway Station to help you get here faster. We have limited car parks so buses are the best option, and they drop you off right at the door to the Zoo.

Visit Metlink for bus routes and timetables.

Scooters, rollerblades and skateboards are not permitted in the Zoo or Zealandia; please leave them at home as we do not have the space to store these during your visit.
