Paradise Valley Springs

I’ve been to quite a few attractions like this and it’s the best one so far. The park is big and full of different kinds of animals. It’s also very clean and well planned out. Not gonna lie, I thought it was quite expensive. However, I found it worth it as I was exploring the place. You can tell the animals are all well taken care of. It’s a nice day activity for all different ages. It’s cool we get to feed the animals for $2! It was cool getting the chance to pet the lion cubs! Definitely worth queuing for. My favourite one is the donkey, he’s definitely a photogenic one.

First time visiting here. Not too busy even on a school holiday. There was a long line to pat the lion cubs. Awesome experience for the kids. They also sell feeds for the ducks, trouts and other animals. Very interactive and not too complicated. We all enjoyed the experience.

What a wonderful place hidden away in a beautiful setting. Patting the lion cubs was truly memorable and watching the lions being feed was real entertainment for us all. This kids loved every minute and they really enjoyed getting to feed the kea and watching them so closely. Highly recommended for families.

Lovely place to take kids. They had a free wheelchair so I could also enjoy. Animals were lovely and great to be able to feed and pet. Definitely needs directions to get there. Plenty of parking. Not to busy when we went on Saturday

A beautiful natural wildlife park with plenty of animals to keep you entertained, especially ducks! You can feed some of the animals and if you arrive at certain times you may get to pat the Lion cubs. We were in and out within the hour, but you could spend a whole day here, great for children and adults alike!

This place is awesome! I've been twice now, and my kids love it! The only issue was not being able to see the lion cubs. It would be nice to get a heads up when we pay! My eldest child was looking forward to seeing the cubs, and unfortunately, we are not from here, so this was our only chance to see them. I understand that they can't have the lion cubs out all day. It would just be nice to mention the cut-off time when people are paying for entry. Otherwise, staff are wonderful! And experience overall is great!

Awesome park and wildlife park. Was great to see the feeding of the lions and patting the cubs. Animals all well looked after. Very knowledgeable staff. Reasonably priced. Although the line to pat the cubs was huge, waited an hour, patience was key. Important to be quiet when approaching the cub area as loud noises scare them. You can feed the animals and see some historical sites along the boardwalk. Well maintained.

Wow this place is truly special. We took our toddler and he had a blast running around after the ducks (which are everywhere). Personally I loved the treetops walk and the feeling of being amongst nature. A bit weird to see lions in NZ and I did not need the experience of patting their cubs. Doesn’t sound very ethical but I’m not a zookeeper
