A wonderful, refreshing animal park that encourages interaction with and respect for the animals, not just staring at them through cages. Guests are encouraged to walk amongst the animals, approach them if they are willing, feed them and generally spend time amongst them. Beautifully landscaped and organized in a clean but not "Disney-esque" way. Kids who love animals but don't get a chance to interact with them will love this place, as did ours. Please don't let this place change. An hour sitting high on the hill amongst the deer, sheep and goats was just wonderful.

First time visiting Staglands. I was absolutely in awe. With the sun shinning brightly, and the sound of peakocks shrieking amongst the back drop I felt blessed. So many wondering walkways to follow, waterfalls cascading and bridges to either cross or have a dab at keeping your balance as you jump up and down. You will definitely want to return, perhaps with picnic basket as I will be doing next time.

Staglands is a fantastic destination for animal lovers.

There are so many cute and quirky friends you get to meet up close. Great photo opportunities for photographers of any calibre!

The tractor ride is a fun time for the whole family.

The cafe serves very tasty kai, with plenty of options for people with different dietary needs.

Such a cool experience! Love this place! Better than Wellington zoo in my opinion and my family of 6 all agree. The wildlife is treated well and genuinely cared for. The interactive experience is amazing and the surroundings and overall design/layout and feel of this reserve is outstanding.

Omg what a hidden gem! we had an absolutely amazing day. We had lunch in the cafe which was beautiful and sat next to the warm fire because it wasn't a warm day but beautifully sunny. The animal experiences were just perfect. The grounds were beautifully kept. What an amazing place. Thank you so much. We absolutely loved everything about Staglands.
