My Year Six class had a great time at Te Paranui. They learnt a lot about animal care and food, as well as having a great time. Having the animals’ likes and dislikes explained, allowed them to interact with all the animals positively. We visited on the last day of a three day camp and for lots of them this visit was their highlight. Many parents have also commented, with some of the class going home and making meals for their family from the recipes they made on the day. I would definitely recommend going here, we will be back 🙂 Thanks, Sophie
