Animal attraction: Let your romantic side go wild this Valentine's Day at Auckland Zoo

Let your romantic side go wild this Valentine's Day at Auckland Zoo. Take a twilight stroll through the zoo's lush grounds and visit the animals, while the City of Sails Barbershop serenades you and your loved one with romantic songs throughout the evening. Darwin's Cafe is fully licensed and open for dinner or you could bring a picnic to enjoy as the sun sets over the Band Rotunda. Zookeepers will be running eye-to-eye animal encounters throughout the evening including the chance to hand-feed giraffe at 6pm.

The zoo will be open until 9pm for Valentine's Day and normal zoo admission prices apply.
