Reviewed By V2902SYrebeccaw - Wellington, New Zealand
This sheltered walk takes you along the shores of Pāuatahanui Inlet . Amble along the track which is easy and enjoy the ever changing views across the water high tide or low tide. Dogs are allowed on the leash and not too hard a challenge for young children. There is wetland wildlife to observe and on some days there are people enjoying water sports, sailing, kayaking, rowing to watch too. At the Grays Road end of the track there is a row of iconic boat sheds. Toilets are at both ends and plenty of parking by the Paremata Bridge ( a coffee cart as well! ) At low tide there is a little bit of a beach, or continue walking under the bridge towards Plimmerton.

Reasonably priced and spot-on size-wise with approachable rangers and a wide range of animal environments this zoo is great in every way for kids. Take a full day and a picnic ( the food is great here but over-subscribed leading to lunchtime queues). There are water-fountains, playgrounds and picnic areas, the animals seem well-cared for and it is a treat for any animal lover. I kept losing the kids I was with but all OK and a measure of how much there is to explore. Roll on tagging!
