Amazing
Felt very lucky to have this place in Christchurch. A real assortment of animals and was able to see all of them. Particularly enjoyed the giraffe feeding and the gorillas. Fantastic day out

Not recommend going
While I appreciate the staff and their customer service, there was an obvious sense that the animals in particularly the tiger, gorilla and lions are avoiding us/humans. There was one gorilla and one tiger and they seemed really lonely and had enough of us, as soon as they see us they turn their backs. I’m not complaining that we don’t get what we paid for but rather I feel sorry for them. Stuck in there for life and possibly depressed. What’s the point of having the only wildlife reserve park in NZ if there’s so much sadness and at what cost? Also the safari feeding experience they promote on the website , they don’t run it anymore. They should put that down.

Sad animals
We were saddened to see how sad the gorilla , lions and tiger were. Surely more enrichment would do them good. The farmyard was a sad experience too. The otters enclosure was dirty. There were no monkeys, Zebra or Tasmanian devils visible. The grounds themselves could do with a lot more planting, new bright signs and imagination. We loved feeding the giraffes. We hope that Orana receives funding to make the animals lives better and to breath life back into this potentially amazing park.
From Orana Wildlife Park
Thank you for taking the time to write a review following your visit to the Park Annikah. Naturally, we are disappointed to hear the Park did not meet your expectations. Orana is set on 80 hectares and is home to over 90 different species of animals. The balance we aim to achieve in an open range setting is displaying animals in spacious exhibits whilst also not having visitors peer at specks in the distance. Over the years, we have worked hard to develop a range of interesting scheduled daily animal feed presentations enabling visitors to view our animals up close and to interact with the keepers during their public talks. We encourage visitors to follow this schedule to ensure they get the most out of their visit. Orana Wildlife Park is a registered charitable trust and not-for-profit organization. We heavily rely on gate takings to operate and in fact, over 60% of our income is derived from gate sales, so we thank you for visiting. Your support goes directly back into the Park and allows us to continue our conservation work, such as breeding kākāriki karaka for release to the wild. Thank you again for your feedback. We hope you will consider visiting us again.

A perfect midwinter day out
Impressed by the attentive, informative staff at the lion feeding and African Painted dogs feeding times. Spent 3hrs walking around and could have stayed another hour to have seen everything.
