April School Holidays - rediscover takahē and so much more at Auckland Zoo!
Saturday 13 to Sunday 28 April 2024
For years one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most extraordinary birds, the takahē, was thought to be extinct until it was rediscovered in 1948.
These April school holidays, rediscover this precious taonga and many other living treasures at Auckland Zoo. When you arrive, pick up an activity booklet and learn what makes takahē unique. Our bird team have a special keeper talk at 3.30pm everyday of the school holidays (13-28 April) where you can learn about Auckland Zoo takahē Whitu and Bligh. At home, with the help of your activity booklet, you can continue your rediscovery journey in your own backyard and learn how you can help protect local wildlife.
Native species themed Tamariki Time will run on Wednesday and Thursday at 10am and 10:30am.
The Domes will be open as well. There will be a reading corner, building blocks, a larger version of the takahē game and other activities in there.
Plus our Volunteers will have a takahē themed discovery table for visitors to engage with.
