Introduction
Wellington Zoo on the hills near the city centre, opened in 1906, is New Zealand's oldest zoo. Run as a 'wildlife centre', it takes part in conservation of endangered species such as Sumatran tigers and Sulawesi crested macaques; enclosures prioritise welfare, walkways and talks educate visitors, and close encounters like giraffe feeding are on offer.
