What to expect
Welcome to the Lake Tekapo Petting Zoo, located in the heart of Lake Tekapo Township our farmyard petting zoo offers hands-on animal encounters. Come and say hello to our Merino Sheep, Pigs, lambs, Alpacas, and Rabbits.
See the native Kune-Kune Pigs, Gin & Tonic are Kune-Kune pig that originates from New Zealand. They are relatively small in size and have a unique appearance with their short snouts, upturned noses, and wattles (or fleshy appendages) hanging from their jowls. Kune-Kune pigs are known for being friendly and docile, making them popular as pets. They love a diet of grains, vegetables, fruits & nuts!
Alpacas are a type of domesticated South American camelid, known for their soft and luxurious wool. Alpacas are social animals and are often raised in herds. They come in a variety of colours, including white, black, brown, and grey. Alpacas are known for their gentle and curious nature, which makes them popular among visitors at petting zoos and farms. At Petting Zoo Tekapo, visitors can meet and interact with our friendly alpacas as part of our petting zoo experience.
Reviews
The tour lasted about 45 minutes. Our tour guide Cody first fed the animals, then took us around the farm and explained some knowledge about farm animals. It was very interesting. But remember to wear dark clothing and shoes, as animals can get too excited and pounce on you.
The host Sam is very friendly and knowledgeable. The animals are very adorable and well taken care of. Our family was very impressed and the environment was clean with stunning views of mountains at the back. Highly recommended for everyone
The guide is really friendly and knowledgeable, and my little 2 year old city girl had a great time interacting with the sheeps, pigs, llamas and cow.
Petting zoo was great. We had the time slot to ourselves which was really great and the tour host was lovely. Animals were very friendly and cute as!
It was so cute and I was really satisfied. You can interact directly with the sheep and cows right next to you. However, there aren't any safety measures, so it might be a bit difficult for babies.
our wonderful farm guide was Benzi who was very friendly and knowledgeable on the animals in the farm! end of the tour, Ben presented us with postcards of the farm and animals.
We had the absolute best time visiting! The guide was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and shared so many fun facts that made the visit both educational and engaging. The animals were all so tame, clean, and ridiculously cute. Hand-feeding them was a breeze and perfectly safe. Highly recommend!
Highly recommend the Lake Tekapo Petting Zoo experience! It’s a quick 30 minutes but so worth it. Our guide, Joy, was awesome – she gave us a warm introduction to all the animals and even offered to help us take photos. A fun and memorable stop for anyone visiting Tekapo!
Great experience to be able to touch and pet the animals such as sheep and alpacas. Feeding was also a fun activity.
great experience, especially if you have toddlers in tow. not too short and not too long, freedom to interact with the animals too.
