Watch the reptiles

In secluded native bush, discover New Zealand's only zoo specialising in reptiles.

Home to the smallest baby tortoises, geckos and chameleons, shingleback skinks and even alligators, the Reptile Park is on the coast near Leigh, 29 km from Warkworth, north of Auckland.

The park, at 27 Ti Point Rd, is about an hour's drive from Auckland and is open daily from 10am to 5pm. Entry is $7 for adults and $3 for school children.
