Wellington Zoo Welcome Weekends

Overview

If your ideal weekend involves seeing animals of both the adorable and the carnivorous persuasions, you're in luck. Wellington Zoo is releasing a series of dirt cheap tickets online every weekend in June, to thank the Pōneke community for its support over the last 116 years.

Each week, the zoo will release a select number of $5 adult tickets and $2 children's tickets — plus a small booking fee. All proceeds will go to the Wellington Zoo Conservation Fund to support local and international conservation projects.

That's the same cost as a coffee — which coincidentally, you can buy from the coffee caravan that's going to be parked up outside the zoo's entrance.

Check the zoo's social channels to find out when the tickets are going to be released — the Wellington Zoo team says they expect the passes will sell out pretty quickly.
