Christmas Lunch at Auckland Zoo

Feast your eyes on these long Christmas lunches at Auckland Zoo
Gather whānau, friends or colleagues for a long Christmas lunch at the iconic Old Elephant House restaurant this year.

Our chefs have taken the stress out of the silly season and have a delectable two-course plated lunch menu, so that you and your guests can relax and unwind over two hours. With a mouth-watering port-glazed champagne ham* as the centrepiece, it’s a guilt-free feast with the Zoo just outside for that long post-lunch walk. We have the little cubs covered too, with a special Christmas menu.

In addition to the two-course lunch, prepare to explore more than 17 hectares of naturally inspired award-winning habitats. You’ll come face-to-face with over 130 species to enjoy at your leisure all day long! If that’s not an early Christmas treat, we don’t know what is!

By booking in now, you’ll also be supporting our important wildlife conservation work, with a portion of your purchase going towards conservation at Auckland Zoo. So, gather the crew, book a group, and make a day of it. (Hot tip: You may even like to organise a Secret Santa for your table, to make the occasion extra fun).

Zoo entry is included in the Christmas Lunch ticket price (and free if you’re a member) - there’s always something new happening at Auckland Zoo.
