Our amazing new Asia Precinct opened on 29 September, giving visitors the opportunity to get closer than ever to our Malayan Sun Bears and Sumatran Tigers! The new space has interactive information panels, an authentic Cambodian tuktuk to ride on, and much more - so come down to explore at Wellington Zoo!

The ASB Malayan Sun Bear exhibit is a purpose-built new home for Sean and Sasa, complete with climbing frames built from recycled gum trees.  Hear more about these beautiful bears at the Sun Bear talk, held every day at 2.45pm. 

See more of our Sumatran Tigers, Rokan and Cantik, than ever before. The redeveloped Pub Charity Sumatran Tiger exhibit has new viewing panes and viewing decks, so you can get within a whisker of these amazing big cats. Learn more about these amaznig creatures at the Tiger Talk, held at 3.00pm every day.

Visitors can learn more about the construction and planning of this new area at the Project Asia talk, held daily at 11.30am.  To see what other talks are available, check out our daily talk schedule here.
