Auckland Zoo is proud to serve palm oil-free and free-range food at our cafes and food village.
There are also a number of picnic areas around Auckland Zoo - sit back and relax with your purchased or packed lunch while enjoying the sights and sounds of the zoo.
In an effort to reduce the use of single-use plastic, Auckland Zoo no longer sells bottled water. You can fill your own bottle at our chilled water fountains located at each of these catering outlets or purchase an Auckland Zoo reusable bottle, on sale at all outlets and in our gift shop WildZone.
We've recently introduced Again Again cups as our sole take-out option for hot drinks, instead of single-use takeaway cups. We encourage visitors to bring their own re-useable cup or pay a fully refundable $3 deposit to borrow an Again Again cup. These cups can then be used again and again at the Zoo or at dozens of other Auckland cafés that are adopting the scheme - or the cup can be returned for the $3 deposit refund. This initiative is diverting more than 160,000 cups from the landfill each year, and is part of our commitment to sustainability as a carbon-neutral organisation. Learn more here >
