Western Springs Park consists of a sanctuary for wildlife, surrounding a lake fed by the natural springs. There are walking paths surrounding the lake with bridges going across sections of it. Auckland Zoo, MOTAT and Western Springs Stadium are all situated around the park. #parks
Visiting the Auckland Zoo is a good recommendation for all - adults and kids. Home to 138 different species and over 875 animals, Auckland Zoo has the largest collection of native and exotic animals in New Zealand.
Aloe Vera - we found some beautiful aloe plants bloom walking through the Auckland ZOO. Aloe bloom times depend on the species, but they often bloom sporadically throughout the year.
