Covid-19 Update
While the Zoo is open during Level 2, we’re taking extra precautions for the safety of our visitors, staff and animals, so we will be operating a little differently for now.
To ensure your safety and to help with physical distancing during Level 2 there will be no animal talks and other special products like Close Encounters and Sleepovers will also be suspended. Some areas of the Zoo will be closed so visitors can maintain physical distancing.
We really appreciate your patience and understanding.
Late Fridays in March
Open late every Friday in March - 1/2 Price Entry after 4pm
9.30am - 7.30pm
Ever wondered what happens at Wellington Zoo as the sun goes down?
Throughout March the Zoo will remain open until 7.30pm every Friday giving everyone an opportunity to experience the Zoo at dusk. On late Fridays, entry to the Zoo will be half-price at 4pm or later.
There will be additional talks throughout the evening and Close Encounters available to book - find out more here.
