Motions Creek at Auckland Zoo (9 May 2023)
Kia kaha to our wonderful community in Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland.
As you can see from this video, there is currently a torrent of water rushing through Motions Creek at the Zoo. We will remain closed until at least midday tomorrow, when we will assess and make a decision as to when the Zoo can reopen.
We want to reassure our caring community that all of the Zoo’s animals are safe and accounted for. A few species such as the takahē, American alligators and the native lizards in our High Country habitat have been temporarily relocated due to the risk of potential flooding.
As always, we hope everyone is safe and dry during this time. Please stay tuned to our social channels and website for updates.
