Te Wao Nui

Encompassing a fifth of the Zoo's 17ha footprint, Te Wao Nui offers both locals and tourists a truly unique and immersive experience of New Zealand's animals, plants and culture - all in one location at Auckland Zoo.

Te Wao Nui is home to over 100 New Zealand native plant species and around 60 different animal species.  This celebration of New Zealand explores the past, showcases the present, and focuses on the future - and invites everyone to play a role as kaitiaki (guardians) for our unique wildlife and wild places.
