Can You See Kiwi During a Daytime Visit to Willowbank?


In Go New Zealand

Yes. Willowbank's purpose-built nocturnal house allows visitors to look for kiwi during the reserve's daytime opening hours. Give your eyes time to adjust to the low light and move quietly while watching the birds. Photography is not permitted inside the kiwi house. Explore more Christchurch wildlife experiences if you would like to extend the wildlife theme.
