Zoo Christmas do

Auckland Zoo has a Christmas party on December 18, 5pm-9pm, with December 19 as a rain date.

Fairies will sprinkle everyone with enchanted party dust and visitors can ride the polar express train, find a magical fairy grotto and follow the Narnia trail through Pridelands. There'll be plenty of surprises and a Christmas singalong.

The New Year's Eve Jungle Rock party (6pm-10pm) will be a roaring night of celebration with live music. The New Year will be counted in at 9pm so that all ages can enjoy the countdown together. Book through ticketek.
