So much fun!
I booked this experience for my family of 4 as my 11yo daughter loves animals, with the expectation that she’d enjoy it and our 14yo son would think it was just ok. I was wrong! We all had so much fun and really enjoyed our visit and ended up staying for around 1.5 hours. The staff were really friendly, the views amazing and the animals so damn cute. Would definitely recommend a visit, especially with the discounted tickets via Bookme.

Such well mannered animals
We have our own livestock but still enjoyed coming here and seeing different animals. They were all so well mannered and took the food from you gently. There were a few sheep and llamas that followed you for more food but did give up eventually. Great advice for safety around animals from the staff members.

Glenorchy farm experience
Great view while driving to Farm experience. Farm is good with lots of farm animals.great for kids. Open paddock experience with animals is great but be ware of a security person who is grumpy.He dosn't know how to talk polietly while giving instruction.He is super rude which ruined our experience in open paddock.it is everyday job for them so they need to be patient when explaining people whith their specific rules who drives really far to visit them. Otherwise worth the trip .we also visited Dart river which is 15 mins drive from this place.Gateway to paradise.

Thanks for your review Disha. I've been made aware of your unfortunate paddock visit. Our safety rules are solely to keep you safe. Unfortunate it didn't work for you. Yes, our staff did get annoyed as he got blatantly ignored. However, it is often better to send visitors out of the paddock if they struggle with the safety concept. Rather than waste time and energy and get grumpy at visitors, so i apologize for not taking action of sending you out of the paddock in order to keep you safe and happy. 🙏🌻

WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!
Mom of 4 here, 3kids under 5!!! We've been to a Lot of Animal Encounters in Auckland and Glenorchy Animal Experience is the WORST ever!!!! All the staffs are very RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL and was SHOUTING AT US during my kids encounter to the animals!!! The place smells yuck! And did I say, the staffs are soooo RUDE to us. We arrived there at noon! We were trying to find out where is the entrance because literally no one is inside at that time, when we saw the staff, I kindly Asked, "is this the right place for the glenorchy animal experience?(while showing her my book me family pass)" then the f*cking staff laughed at me and said, what do you think? Can you read this?her tone wasn't really nice! And I got really uncomfortable talking to her and I asked if I can still refund my money bec. Im not happy anymore aside from her, the smell was so bad that my children was complaining to me that they dont wanna go anymore. And she laughed again and said, No! No! No! You paid really really cheap! That's a cheapy!!!!! Then my husband said, if we can't refund lets just try and the kids might enjoy inside, then the staffs were shouting at my kids, because the alpacas were trying to run to us and my kids were running away. One of the staffs asked us if we can speak english. We said yes and asked us if we can read the rules and regulations that was posted there. Then my husband started to get angry and told them to kindly speak nicely to us because we are customers and our kids are freaking out already why they are shouting at us. I did not even get a chance to take a photo because I was freaking out. We just left and was wondering how on earth this people lives here in NZ, all the people most of the time really are nice and accomodating. Weve been living im auckland for 15 years now and its our first time encoutering people like this. Praying that they won't do that again to other families. Being KIND is free. We felt we were SCAMMED. Not just our money was taken but also we were treated so bad. And really, I hate it when other people shouting at my kids.

Thank you for the review. You forgot to mention that the owner gave you a verbal trespass notice upon your group leaving, as you refused to comply with the safety rules to keep your family safe. You lied repeatedly to staff about an adult of 20yrs you tried to pass as a child, and our usually calm paddock staff was exasperated and complained to me after you left. I rest my case. We may not be your type of entertainment, but sadly you were terrible ambassadors for your people.
