Overview

Te Wao Nui, will be open to the public at noon on Sunday 11 September.

Encompassing a fifth of the Zoo's 17ha footprint, Te Wao Nui will offer 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.
