Australia Zoo

Adventure at Australia Zoo

A day out, nice tropical weather, wildlife, fresh air, stunning views and an endless list of exciting activities await visitors all year around at the Australia Zoo. This vast wildlife park does not run out of entertainment options for children and adults so they can enjoy, appreciate and learn about Australia’s unique fauna. Animal exhibits, guided tours, wildlife feeding, interesting talks and spectacular shows are some of the adventures these 80 acres of land have to offer to animal lovers and fun seekers.

Located on the Steve Irwin Way, the Australia Zoo is 90 Km from Brisbane and can be reached by taking the Zoo’s Courtesy Coach service or the QR Citytrain and Sunbus services, which collect and deliver passengers along different routs and finally drop them and pick them up at the gates of this famous animal sanctuary. The convenience of such transport options makes it easier and affordable for students and non-drivers.

With daily shows running from 10 am to 3:30 pm, animal lovers learn about wildlife conservation while they get close to hundreds of animals. People also get to know different species that live in lush facilities and well cared habitats; additionally, they have the chance to feed and pad some of the most iconic Australian creatures: koalas, kangaroos and wombats. This is an unforgettable experience for those who have never seen Australia’s endemic species as they can not be viewed anywhere else around the world.

However, there is more to this than meets the eye. Valuable information about the animals’ habitats and behaviour is provided by the friendly zoo team, who will take people on specialized guided tours that make the experience more exciting by visiting the Zoo’s Hospital, going on a caddie around the sanctuary or having an adventurous safari.

Apart from the guided tours, patrons can visit the Tiger Temple, The Crocoseum, the African and Asian facilities, the Bird Sanctuary, the Great Southern Ocean, the Elephant facility and many other exhibits in spacious and impressive environments that set the perfect atmosphere to have a wildlife adventure in the company of friends and family. They can benefit from 2-day Wild Passes, same day exit and re-entry passes, group discounts and are allowed to bring food and drink into the Zoo, although the Foodcourt has different outlets to cater for everyone.

Finally, the Irwin family together with the zoo keepers schedule several celebrations each year that attract aussies and tourists on special dates such as Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Queen’s Birthday and Bindi’s Birthday. These events are the best opportunity to see the Crocodile Hunter’s family in action and be close to the brave team of Wildlife Warriors.
