Christmas Lunch (General Admission)

Gather the whānau, friends or work mates and book a Christmas lunch at the iconic Old Elephant House restaurant.  

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

Enjoy the festivities with your mates (or a date) and we can guarantee you’ll be walkin’ in a wild wonderland either before or after your two-course lunch. Zoo entry is included (free if you’re a member) - we have 135 species of animal to enjoy at your leisure all day long. 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 festive).
