Lake Tekapo Petting Zoo

“Jen was absolutely wonderful on our tour! My parents and I loved every moment of the experience - from petting the adorable little lambs to learning all about merino wool and how it’s produced. The tour felt relaxed and well-paced; we never felt rushed, and Jen took great care in showing us around the farm. Even though we were part of a group, everyone got plenty of time to interact with the animals, which made the experience feel really personal. We each received our own small boxes of pellets to feed the animals, which made it both intimate and easy to manage. It was such a wholesome, heartwarming experience - a definite highlight of our trip to Lake Tekapo! Highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves animals and wants an authentic farm experience.”

“Our visit to the farm was such an enjoyable and memorable experience! 🐷🐑🦙 Our guide, Joy, was wonderful and very knowledgeable. She took the time to share interesting facts and the background of the different animals, which made the experience even more meaningful for us. We especially enjoyed getting up close and feeding the pigs, sheep and alpacas. Our daughter absolutely loved it and had such a great time interacting with the animals! Seeing her excitement and happiness throughout the visit made the experience even more special for us as parents. ❤️ A big thank you to Joy for making our visit so enjoyable and memorable. We would definitely recommend this experience to families with young children! 😊”

“I really enjoyed my visit to the zoo today, and Joy made the whole experience even more special. She was kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. She shared lots of interesting details about the animals, such as where they came from, their ages, and their names. She also explained the right way to feed them and how to interact with them safely and gently. The most memorable part for me was having the chance to bottle-feed a newborn lamb. It was such a unique and heartwarming experience, and definitely something I will remember for a long time. I had a great time and also learned a lot during the visit. Thank you, Joy, for making it such a fun and meaningful experience!”
