WHAT IS THE FUTURE IS WILD™ @ THE HILLOCKS?
Since 2002, “The Future is Wild”™ has stood for scientific integrity and visionary thinking — imagining life 5, 100, and 200 million years from now, in a world where humans are long gone and evolution has taken extraordinary new paths.
“The Future is Wild™ at The Hillocks” is the next chapter of that story.
We take the original series’ core ideas of evolution and adaptation and bring them into an urgent, contemporary context — exploring how climate change is reshaping life on Earth right now, and what that means for fauna, flora, and us, the human race.
The result is New Zealand’s first immersive ecotourism experience, set against one of the most breathtaking natural landscapes on the planet. Expect approximately 2.5 hours that will genuinely blow your mind — a guided Virtual Reality journey through time, followed by a self-guided AR Safari where the whole family can discover the iconic creatures that once called these islands home.
Science. Wonder. Nature. All in one unforgettable place.
