Sustainable public transport to Zoo means cheaper entry

Go Wellington is proud to continue its longstanding relationship with Wellington Zoo. For the month of November, anyone travelling on a Go Wellington bus to the Zoo will pay only half price Zoo entry.

Passengers need to show the Zoo their bus ticket or present their Snapper card.

NZ Bus CEO Zane Fulljames says, “Our role is to connect our communities, that can mean taking a trip somewhere or working in partnership with other organisations to connect the public with our city’s sights and activities.”

Go Wellington’s focus over the past year was working with Wellington Zoo by sponsoring charter trips for lower decile schools. This allows children, teachers and caregivers to visit the Zoo and take part in the Warehouse Zoofari programme.

Now the combined generosity of two Wellington institutions has been extended to the wider public.

In-line with the Zoo’s commitment to sustainability as a business and attraction, public transport is seen as the appropriate means of travel to the Zoo.

Wellington Zoo’s General Manager Community Engagement Amy Hughes says “Conservation and sustainability are at the heart of everything we do at Wellington Zoo. Taking public transport is an easy way for our visitors to have a positive impact on the local environment – and we’re rewarding them with half-price admission to the Zoo.”

Wellington Zoo is one of our city’s most popular public transport destinations as private car parking options are limited.

Go Wellington runs buses to the Zoo each day on routes 10 and 23 which stop immediately outside the Zoo.
