Kiwi Birdlife Park

Nestled right in the bustling heart of Queenstown, the Kiwi Birdlife Park is a fantastic wildlife sanctuary that invites you to explore the wonders of New Zealand's native fauna. Spread over five acres, the park showcases more than 20 species of native wildlife, each part of nationally managed conservation programs. Among the feathered residents, you'll encounter the charming Brown Teal, the cheeky Kea, the elusive Blue Duck, and the majestic New Zealand Falcon.

One of the park's highlights is the Kiwi Houses, where time flips to give you a rare daytime glimpse of these nocturnal birds in an environment that mimics their natural night-time habitat. It's a unique experience, watching these iconic creatures scuttle around, and it feels like stepping into another world.

But the adventure doesn't end with birds. The Honey Bee Centre is another gem within the park, bursting with fascinating bee facts and delightful products. With its indoor transparent beehive, you can peer into the buzzing life of bees and learn about their crucial role in agriculture. Plus, they offer practical tips on how you can support bee populations, ensuring you leave with not just memories but inspiration to make a difference. After your wildlife adventure, take a moment to soak in the stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Queenstown's natural beauty is truly a sight to behold, and the park offers a perfect blend of education and relaxation.
