The Auckland Zoo is calling all visitors to New Zealand who want to see an amazing collection of animals. Certainly among the top attractions in Auckland, the Auckland Zoo is an environmentally-conscious place that is known to be among the most progressive zoos on the planet. Found close to the Auckland Zoo is the Museum of Transport and Technology, and the Western Springs Reserve. The first “zoo” to open in Auckland New Zealand did so in 1912, though it was more of a private collection of animals than it was a real zoo. For various reasons, Onehunga natives found issue with this new Auckland zoo of sorts, citing crowds, animal smells and noise as their primary complaints. In 1922, the Auckland City Council decided to appease the Onehunga locals by buying up all the animals.
