Auckland Zoo opens with limited capacity to visitors and members from 3 December
Zoo visitors (including community ticket holders) and annual members will be visiting us under specific Traffic Light Red Government regulations and Auckland Zoo protocols. These are to keep our staff, visitors, and animals safe, and ensure you can enjoy a great Zoo experience!
We’ve launched a website dedicated to celebrating our upcoming centenary – 100 years of being Auckland’s Zoo - and we’ll be adding to it throughout 2022.
This year we invite you to be part of our centenary celebrations. If we’re going to have a party, then it may as well go on for a full year. Share your memories, journey into the Zoo’s past, present and future, and join us for an exciting programme of onsite and online activities happening all throughout 2022.
