Walking tour of Auckland Zoo, a zoological garden in Auckland, New Zealand, situated next to Western Springs park not far from Auckland's central business district.
A popular destination for young couples and families with children - Auckland Zoo is one of Auckland's most popular destinations.
With only a small carpark it's best to go early to Auckland Zoo - however you'll have to pay for parking on top of the entry fee.
