Kiwi HouseInside our Kiwi HouseDay is transformed into night when our most famous native bird, the kiwi, wakes up. Here you will see a kiwi foraging for food as it would in the wild. The Kiwi is a nocturnal animal and the Kiwi House is kept dark so that visitors can see the bird in its natural enviroment. The Kiwi House was opened in 1990 raising public awareness of the endangered North Island Brown Kiwi. Our mandate is to promote and protect our endangered native species in partnership with other conservation organizations.Gecko HouseYou will also have an opportunity to visit the Gecko House – but you will have to look hard as the gecko is a master of camouflage.Entry FeeIncludes entry to Museum, Kiwi House and Heritage Park groundsAdult $10, Child over 3 to 16yrs $5, Under 3’s free, Family pass $25 (2 adults and 2 children) Prices in NZ Dollars Guided Tours During guided tours the habitat and territorial behaviour is explained and the impact of predators on this New Zealand national icon.
