Kiwi Park Queenstown
Kiwi Park Queenstown is a wildlife sanctuary in central Queenstown, set on Brecon Street just above the town centre. It is best known for giving visitors a rare chance to learn about New Zealand’s native animals in a setting focused on conservation and education.
The park is home to kiwi, New Zealand’s famous flightless bird, along with other native species such as tuatara and a range of birds. One of the main highlights is the opportunity to see kiwi in a purpose built nocturnal house, where lighting is adjusted to match their natural behaviour. Keeper talks and feeding sessions are a key part of the experience, helping visitors understand the threats these species face and the work being done to protect them.
Because the park is compact and easy to explore, it suits families, wildlife lovers, and anyone wanting a break from Queenstown’s adventure activities. It offers a different side of the region, one centred on native nature and conservation rather than adrenaline.
