Auckland Zoo Director Jonathan Wilcken said there's no doubting the value of visitor reviews in helping others to determine where the best places to stay, eat and visit are.
"To be rated amongst the very best in our part of the world speaks to the qualities of Auckland Zoo as a progressive conservation organisation that's focused on creating meaningful connections between people and wildlife to help save species from extinction."
Award winners were determined using an algorithm that took into account the quantity and quality of reviews for amusement parks, water parks, zoos, and aquariums worldwide, gathered over a 12 month period.
