Paradise Valley Springs is set in a very natural and well-maintained New Zealand bush environment. The Ngongotaha Stream winds throughout this park which is home to many wild trout. All of the wildlife on display is found either wild (both native and introduced) or farmed around New Zealand - with the exception of African lion pride.
Visitors can have hands on or close contact with many of the animals here. The afternoon feeding show at 2.30pm is a great time to see the lions active and to learn a bit more about the pride and African Lions in general. You can also take elevated treetops walk in a tranquil and secluded area of the park, putting you up near the canopy of the trees.
