About Us

Set in the heart of Queenstown’s alpine landscape, Kiwi Park is a family-owned, 5-acre wildlife sanctuary caring for over 20 species of Aotearoa’s precious birds and reptiles. For nearly 40 years we’ve combined conservation action with unforgettable visitor experiences – and we were the first institution in New Zealand to be awarded Positive Welfare Status by the Zoo and Aquarium Association of Australasia.
