Animals at Silver Rivers petting zoo
An opportunity to feed sheep, alpaca and Hector, the very friendly Hereford steer plus the character-filled kuni kuni pigs. Learnt some local farming information from Cody who introduced us to the animals. Worth a visit 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 for friendly Silver Rivers staff. Thank you 🤩 (unfortunately no photos as I was busy enjoying the animals 🙂)

I really enjoyed the tour, and I loved how we were not only feeding the animals but also being introduced to all of their names and different personalities. I just wish we could’ve had a bit longer, because after about 20 minutes that was it! We were welcome to stay and hang around the animals at the end but I definitely expected a bit more from the actual tour. Animals were adorable though ♥️ and it was definitely still a lovely afternoon activity :)

Spend time with the animals
Cute animals, up close and personal, feeding them from the palm of your hands is priceless.

Nice farm
just few minutes driving from our accommodation. all the animals are very active and you can pet all of them. unlike other farm which charge you for at least 50NZD for a visit, this one allows you to have interaction with animals at a better price.
