Hi,

Cant remember what we decided on where to put things to do in area's so I thought I'd do a new thread.

Stu and I visited Staglands yesterday, about an hours drive on SH2 out of Wellington. It was awesome.

We loved it, wished we had had kids to take along.

For $14 we saw beautiful countryside, lots of animals like pigs, donkeys, fallow deer, falcons, kea's etc and some old deserted barracks. It was a really good day out.

Kids would be in heaven. I'm a softie for animals and I was in heaven, got to go into barns and play with all the smaller animals and newbie borns as well.

You can take your picnic gear or even food for a BBQ and sit outside and watch peacocks and other wildlife ponder around you. It was just bliss. Plus you get a good walk out of it as well so you're keeping fit at the same time.

If anyone is visiting Wellie and is unsure what to do to keep kids of all ages occupied visit here. Take your camera and buy a few bags of animal and trout food and your sorted!
