I had a wonderful morning at Zealandia. The staff were friendly and helpful and the guide was great. Very knowledgeable and showed us so many different birds and plants. I really learned so much about Wellington’s history and its unique flora and fauna. I think every tourist in Wellington should visit this amazing attraction.
