Orana Park

With the age of my kids we prefer Willowbank, but just for a change it is nice to go to Orana. Out past the airport it takes us about 25 minutes to get there from home. So it makes for a long day for a 4 year old and a nearly 2 year old. The park is home to plenty of animals but is quite spread out. There is a tractor ride /safari bus to catch but these can get pretty busy.

There are BBQ's and picnic areas but the wasps can get quite bad in summer. The cafe is okay but no gluten free options apart from fruit.

Park entry is pretty steep so most locals get the annual pass instead. However for older kids I think it is wonderful. Don't forget to take plenty of water in summer - it gets really hot!
