Paradise Valley Springs Wildlife Park

At Paradise Valley Springs, visitors can interact with a variety of wildlife that is found wild around New Zealand.  Animals such as Deer, Pigs, Thar and Wallabies may be hand fed. See Rainbow and Brown Trout in our crystal-clear pools and wild in the Ngongotaha Stream that winds through our park. Get up close to friendly farm animals in the lively streamside farmwalk, Alpacas, Goats and Sheep to name a few. View native New Zealand birds, waterfowl on our wetlands and walk-through with our native alpine parrots the Kea.

Taste pure spring water straight from our natural spring, or purchase some of our own bottled 'Paradise Pure' to take away with you. Experience our elevated rainforest treetops walkway, hidden six metres high amongst bush and huge native trees. Paradise Valley Springs first opened to the public in 1939 as a Trout sanctuary.  Stuart Hamlett purchased the park from the original owner in 1975, along with his brother John who retired in 2004.

The park has been extensively developed over the last 30 years into the world class attraction that it is today.  New developments and upgrades are on-going, and the last three years has seen many exciting additions to the park.
