Situation
The park displays both many varieties of natives and exotics plants and animals. These include kiwis and several other natives.  A farmyard and buildings gives us a great chance to see up-close friendly farm animals. 

Studies
With a park guide, we stroll through the New Zealand native bush and various compounds learning what made the plants and animals different.    We investigate the threats to them now and explore the conservation programs in place.

Here too we can investigate the plants that early Stone Age Maori used to build their homes, make their clothes, weapons and tools.
