Loved it! Super fun and super cool crocodile show
I've always wanted to visit the iconic Australian Zoo because of the Irwin family. Loved my visit, especially the croc feeding show. Super friendly and knowledgable staff, and you can tell they really care about the animals - super easy to book and the Wildlife Hospital was super cool to see.
Such a wonderful day with a 3.5 year kid on a November day
We had a really great day in Australia Zoo with our 3.5 year old daughter. The early November weather was perfect, not too hot and humid. Our daughter really enjoyed the Africa section (giraffes, zebras, rhinos, meerkats) and the Australian animals (feeding kangaroos, petting koalas, wombats, birds, etc). Unfortunately, we did not manage to see the cheetahs as they were hiding somewhere. The tiger show was really crowded so you need to get there early if you want to have a seat. The food area was perfect for us, plenty of selection of food and lots of tables in the shade. Definitely will go back but not during the hot, humid summer days.
