In pictures: Caroline Wozniacki takes her daughter Olivia and son James on trip to Auckland zoo ft. giraffes, parrots & "closest thing to a dinosaur"

Former World No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki is currently in New Zealand, preparing for the ASB Auckland Classic. Since returning to the tennis court in August 2023, she has consistently traveled with her kids.

Wozniacki is set to kick off her 2024 season at the ASB Auckland Classic. The Dane will face Ukrainian Elina Svitolina in her first match of the year at the tournament on Sunday, December 31.

On Saturday, she posted a couple of pictures on her Instagram feed. The photos featured Wozniacki and her children, Olivia and James, at a zoo in Auckland.

Wozniacki talked about their tour around the zoo, mentioning how they saw and touched kiwis, fed giraffes and had conversations with parrots. She said it was a happy day all around as they witnessed the 'closest thing to a dinosaur', which was a tuatara.

“Amazing day at the Auckland Zoo with the kiddos! We got to see and touch the Kiwis that will be put back in to the world safely, when they are big and strong enough! We fed the giraffes, talked with the parrot's, and saw the closest thing to a dinosaur! Happy day all around!” Wozniacki wrote on her Instagram.

The Dane returned to the tennis court in August 2023 following her initial retirement in 2020 due to the birth of her two children.

Wozniacki married former NBA star David Lee in 2019. In June 2021, she gave birth to their daughter Olivia, and in October 2022, she gave birth to their son James.
