Close Encounter - Tiger GIFT CARD

Tiger Close Encounter Gift Card

Want to get up close and personal with one of the most powerful predators on the planet? Join one of our Sumatran Tigers, Bashii or Senja, for an unforgettable Close Encounter!

Your Encounter will be with one Tiger - through a gate, well away from other visitors. You’ll see how our keepers care for these amazing big cats… get an up-close view of their striking fur, deadly paws, and mesmerising eyes - and make a friend by feeding them some of their daily diet!                                      

All tiger contact is ‘hands off’ - even for our Zookeepers - so there’s no pats or cuddles. But you will get closer than most people ever have (and live to tell the tale!).                 

You’ll also learn how your experience helps Te Nukuao Wellington Zoo support Tigers in the wild. With as little as 500 wild Sumatran Tigers remaining, 10% of proceeds from all Animal Experiences go to worldwide conservation projects such as WildCats Conservation Alliance - supporting wild Tiger and Amur Leopard populations around the world.

This gift is paws-itively unforgettable.
