The Kea Discovery Centre will be located within the grounds of the Kiwi Park, Queenstown and set amongst mature native bush.
The facility will be made up of three parts:
- Rehabilitation flight areas for sick and injured kea to support their release back into the wild
- A fun and immersive education centre where visitors can learn all about our endangered kea
- A walkthrough kea enclosure for visitors to get up close and personal with the parks resident kea
Concept Plans
In 2021/22 initial concept plans were developed with our partners Nelmac - Kumanu Environmental and Waka Group Architects.
Where to from here?
The next steps to making the Kea Discovery Centre a reality is to develop a detailed feasibility study which will enable us to promote and raise funds for the physical build.
