Lake Tekapo Petting Zoo

園區內容不大,僅收養了一些牛羊與雞鴨,然而和這些動物互動的過程相當不錯,工作人員也預示了羊駝吐口水的習慣。雖然讓我接下來都小心翼翼的餵食動物,幸虧到最後羊駝都友善的對待了我們,提供的飼料量對我們與動物來說都恰到好處。 位置就在湖邊,距離Lake Tekapo車程約2分鐘,該單位同時有星空導覽活動。

溫馨

小小的牧場但卻滿溫馨的地方,可以直接接觸到小豬、綿羊、羊駝、兔子等

Lake Tekapo Petting Zoo

Such a wonderful experience! Suzie was our tour guide. She is so sweet and friendly. It is no doubt that all farm animals have been looked after so well as they showed us the excitement when they saw us. Thank you for spending time with us, Suzie, sheeps, pigs Gin and Tonic, baby calf Islay and Alpacas. We will definitely visit you all again!
