Close encounters of the 'wildlife kind'
are a Willowbank trademark.
Meet New Zealand's Big 5 with the
Kiwi, the cheeky Kea, the ancient
Tuatara, our bush parrot the Kaka and
the very rare Takahe. Listen to the Kiwi as it forages by your feet.
Embark on a journey through the history of New Zealand. See the impact of introduced species in 'Wild NZ' and meet old livestock breeds in 'Heritage NZ'.
Experience native wildlife in 'Natural NZ' and share our hope for their future. Willowbank is a place close to both Christchurch city and the airport where culture and conservation combine.
The Ko Tane Maori Culture Group perform within Willowbank.
Enjoy our homemade food and coffees in our bush surrounded restaurant and café.
