We currently have two Lion Cubs available for visitors to meet and pat at Paradise Valley Springs. They are absolutely gorgeous and are available for all ages to pat. This is the only place in New Zealand where you can touch a young Lion!
Their names are Bella and Benji and they were born at our park in August 2011.
We have staff members in with our Cubs during patting times, and they are happy to answer any questions you may have about our Lions. You are also welcome to bring a camera and take your own photos.
There is no need to make a booking to pat our Lion Cubs and there is no additional charge at all! Find out our park entry fees here.
