Lake Tekapo Petting Zoo

Such a wonderful experience! Suzie was our tour guide. She is so sweet and friendly. It is no doubt that all farm animals have been looked after so well as they showed us the excitement when they saw us. Thank you for spending time with us, Suzie, sheeps, pigs Gin and Tonic, baby calf Islay and Alpacas. We will definitely visit you all again!
