Feed a Kiwi for a month

Step ‘behind the glass’ for an exclusive, close-up experience as you join the hatchery team in a staff-only area of our state-of-the-art kiwi hatching facility.

Limited to no more than 6 guests at a time, watch on as our Kiwi Keepers complete the daily healthcare check on a kiwi chick and enjoy the opportunity to have your photo with the chick (pending health check results). You’ll also have chance to spot foraging Kiwi in our purpose-built nocturnal house and discover the secrets of the Kiwi in our interactive displays.

Please note that for the safety and wellbeing of kiwi, handling of kiwi is only by our expert Kiwi Keepers. 100% of your ticket goes back to the kiwi hatching programme.
