A trip to Auckland Zoo is not only fun, it can positively impact your wellbeing!
Whether you’re looking to explore with family or enjoy a solo day out, Auckland Zoo offers something for everyone. Unlike stuffy indoor venues, the zoo provides a chance to enjoy fresh air and exercise while discovering the incredible flora and fauna of Aotearoa and beyond. You can even book up-close experiences with animals like the barn owl, Galápagos tortoise, giraffe, red panda, and squirrel monkeys. Best of all, part of your ticket goes towards conservation efforts both in the Zoo and in the wild.
Auckland Zoo is committed to the wellbeing of its community. One way they support this mission is by fostering a lifelong connection with nature, providing a sanctuary in the heart of a bustling city.
Whether you’re strolling with a friend, learning fun animal facts (like why squirrel monkeys don’t have thumbs), or spending the whole day connecting with whānau and wildlife, visiting Auckland Zoo is a unique approach to enhancing positive wellbeing. Next time you’re at the Zoo, consider tracking your steps – you might be surprised by how much ground you cover! From the African Savannah to the South American Rainforest, it’s a good trek, but it doesn’t feel like exercise.
As a Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland institution, the Zoo places a high value on the community’s wellbeing, which aligns with its mission of building a future for wildlife. In order to support this mission, it’s essential that people feel good and function well. International research shows that the closer we are to nature, the happier we feel, the more fulfilled life seems, and the more inclined we are to protect wildlife and the environment. So why not plan a visit to Auckland Zoo and nurture your family with nature?
