Deer Park Heights is a scenic drive and animal encounter situated in the heart of Queenstown. The 5 kilometre road takes you 550 metres above Queenstown, through a working deer farm of some 800 hectares. See and feed the tame animals, stroll walkways, picnic at scenic lookouts and check out the locations of many significant movies filmed here, of particular ‘The Lord of the Rings’. Originally opened in 1966, Deer Park Heights has been host to thousands of visitors over the years. One of Queenstown’s pioneering tourist attractions.
