Paradise Valley Springs is a privately operated wildlife park in a native-bush setting near Rotorua. Its walking route includes birds, trout and other animals, a freshwater spring and an elevated treetops section. The park also keeps African lions in a separate enclosure and explains both native wildlife and the effects of introduced species in New Zealand.
Visitors to Paradise Valley Springs should allow time for the outdoor paths and follow staff instructions around every enclosure. Animals should receive only food authorized by the park, and barriers must never be crossed. Flat footwear and weather protection are useful because most of the experience is outside; the elevated treetops walk uses stairs, while the main paths have broader accessibility. Current feeding events and entry arrangements should be confirmed directly before arrival.
