Buy an adult ticket to Kiwi North and bring up to 3 kids along for free. That includes entry to the Kiwi House and Whangarei Museum .
The kiwi are most active at 11am, 1pm and 3pm when they're getting fed, so that's an ideal time to watch these little guys in their home.
While you're here, tractors and train rides are on at Heritage Park. Whangarei Model Engineering Club mini train rides are $2.00, Steam and Model Railway Club big train rides are $2.50 and Northland Vintage Machinery Club tractor rides are $2.50.
