Through their community partnership, Te Nukuao Wellington Zoo welcomes RMHC® NZ families to the Zoo at no cost. Each year, over 400 adults and tamariki visit the Zoo to reconnect with nature and the restorative power of wildlife, joining the 250,000 people annually who experience the Zoo as a place of wellbeing and inspiration.

With only 150 seats available, this will be an unforgettable evening of purpose and celebration.

Secure your place today and be part of a night that supports whānau, wildlife, and the community that connects us all.
