Auckland Zoo, Wildlife sanctuary in Albert-Eden, New Zealand.
The 16-hectare zoological garden houses more than 1,400 animals from 135 species in naturalistic environments next to Western Springs Park.
The facility opened its doors on December 16, 1922, after acquiring animals from a private collection, expanding through the 1930s despite early veterinary challenges.
Te Wao Nui section presents New Zealand's native plants and animals through six natural habitat zones, reflecting the country's environmental heritage.
The zoo provides two large parking areas with spots for cars and buses, while local residents receive discounted entry rates when booking tickets in advance.
The Centre for Conservation Medicine, established in 2007, allows visitors to observe veterinary procedures as the first national facility of its type worldwide.

Auckland reveals itself as a city situated between two seas, with dormant volcanoes forming natural viewpoints and beaches that change color depending on the coastline. It transitions from a tropical park to a history museum, from a night market to a volcanic island in a few minutes, and each neighborhood adds a different vibe. The city features art galleries, wineries, coastal paths, and views overlooking the bay, creating a mosaic of sites to explore from morning till night. This selection highlights the most representative points of interest to understand Auckland's character and enjoy its diverse landscapes.
