5.00Great little tour. The Kiwi breeding times and collected eggs are Aug through March or so, so if you are there out of season you won't see much actual activity but it really didn't matter because the tour was still fun and informative and lovely. Highly recommend.
Was very interesting!...

5.00Amazing experience!!! I really wanted to see a kiwi on our trip and was so happy to get a glimpse of two running around in there nocturnal enclosure. Very informative tour and love that all the ticket fees go towards the kiwi hatchery and helping to protect them. The hatchery is within the Agrodome which has tons of animals and a farm show and would be a great spot for kids/families.
Really cool organization and fun
