Orana Park is the only place in New Zealand where you are able see the gorillas and they were even better than expected. Being able to sit just through glass from these handsome and intelligent creatures and even have fleeting eye contact it is a wonderful experience. Wandering around the rest of the zoo are impressive different animals and their humane enclosures. The Tasmanian devils have a very loud argument and show their fangs, the walk around is enjoyable with a regular free shuttle available if you need to give your legs a rest. There is a warm cafe to give yourself a treat. This is a great attraction and definitely worth a visit.
