Le seul zoo au monde inacessible avec les transports publics. Sans oublier un service de navette depuis Christchurch que le zoo ne daigne pas mettre en place. La solution pour s'y rendre, réserver avec "leur navette partrnaire" qui ne répond pas au téléphone. Ou prendre un Uber qui vous en coutera 100 $ pour un aller retour. Une fois au zoo que de déception. Les lions cage encounter non disponibles ce jour ci (les raisons sont flous), le premier animal encounter sauté sans raison également, les horaires de la navette qui vous fait visiter le park sont modifiés au cours de la journée sans précision (départ toute les 30 mins, puis départ toutes les heures). Et le meilleur pour la fin, lors de la tiger encounter la soigneuse arrive 10 mins en retard puis demande où est le repas du tigre au talkie walkie et surprise personne ne s'en est occupé. Le tigre gémit et la soigneuse nous "rassure" en nous disant "ce n'est pas sa ration principale de nourriture du jour donc ce n'est pas grave s'il ne mange pas maintenant". Pas très pro ... Sans oublier la carcasse de possum morte sur le grillage du tigre que tout le monde remarque sauf les soigneurs à priori. Je veux bien que le parc soit géré par des bénévoles mais à 35 $ l'entrée sans le transport, la note devient très vite salée pour pas grand chose ....
La rencontre avec les lémuriens fut magique!
Wonderful staff at front desk! They have pushchairs for hire which is a necessity for the littles. We went in the morning. Spent most of the day walking around watching the feedings, playing on the amazing playground and trying to spot the cheetahs. Give yourself plenty of time to spend here. There is a shuttle around the park but it can't take the pushchairs. Feeding the giraffes was the highlight of the holiday!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review about your visit to the Park Isabel. We are so pleased to hear you and your family had such a fun day out and made the most of what the Park has to offer! We hope to see you again :)
There was a reasonable range of animals, however, even with being a spacious outdoor area a vaccine pass is required.
Thank you for your feedback. As a conservation focused organisation, an internal risk assessment was undertaken to ensure the best possible decision for the welfare of our precious animals, people and visitors.

Joli parc
Le parc est très spacieux et bien pensé. Le parcours y est agréable et si vous êtes un peu fatigués il y a une navette pour vous emmener à certains points. Les bénévoles ont l'air de bien s'occuper des animaux, qui ont pour la plupart, de grands enclos. Différents rendez-vous sont possibles afin de voir le nourrissage de certains animaux (heures indiquées) avec des explications données par le personnel qui est très agréable.
