My kids and I live going to Australia Zoo, we went last school holidays and try to go once a year. The zoo is very well run and very clean, the animals are all very well looked after and you will often find staff walking around with different animals and will tell you all about them. We all love the zoo and have been many times and always look forward to going

We went to Australia Zoo 2 days ago. It was a wonderful experience that we all (including several teenagers) really enjoyed. We arrived at around 10am and didn't leave until almost 5pm. It was school holidays but the place is so huge there is plenty of room and you didn't feel crowded by people. Feeding the elephants (free) was amazing, th croc show was awesome (and I've actually seen heaps of other croc shows so I expected it to be a bit boring for me but it wasn't). The Irwin family are really doing an excellent job of carrying on Steve's legacy. The tiger show - oh my goodness it was awe inspiring and you can see them swimming through a clear tank - just beautiful. Africa was wonderful with their giraffes, zebras, rhinos, I had never seen any of these in real life before so it was just wonderful. The only downfall was the price of the food which was extremely expensive. Overall it was a wonderful experience I will never forget.

Had a real great experience with Australia Zoo. It's nice to learn a lot of new things about different animals there. The seal show was really fantastic and entertaining. First time to be kissed by a seal and fed an elephant. Really good for family especially with children. But the food for me is not the best. Next time I would prefer bringing my own food. It was a good experience!

Australia Zoo is an amazing place, and the croc show was so exciting and unbelieveable. I was lucky enough to go one day years ago (as my friend from New York was pestering me that she wanted to see the Crocodile Man), and could you believe our luck .. he was there. His wife & children are still doing a great job out there keeping his legacy alive. I got too close when feeding a goose (or something) and it snapped my face in its beak... lol ... that will teach me for getting so excited about the animals there.

I took my brother here when he came from overseas for a holiday. I found it very expensive, but he enjoyed himself immensely. I wouldn't go back though because it's not something an average family can afford to do.

Approximate cost: $155.00

The best zoo i have ever been too!! I have done a lot of travelling over the years and been to a fair share of zoo's and this is by far the best. Really family orientated and great to go to with kids. A real hands on experience You get to feed the elephants for free. The show at the crocasium is spectacular and there are often lost of keepers with animals out of the enclosures like small reptiles etc for you to pat etc. Really clean, staff are sooo friendly and helpful. Magical say out!!

I love Australia Zoo!! It is always a different experience every time i go!! I love the educational aspects as well as all the food outlets!! Its a great day out for family or friends!! A must do if visiting QLD.

I love Australia Zoo, as locals, we often go with friends when they come up for a holiday and a visit. We last went out about six weeks ago. It is always a really good day out, I always take bottles of water and then buy lunch there, the food area is huge and has a nice atmosphere. I would suggest taking mosquito spraymif you are going in summer, as the area near the elephants gets pretty thick with them, I think the entry price is fairly reasonable, I cant remember the exact price though. Make sure you watch the croc show and feeding the elephants is good too. They have a lot of volunteers working there, and I have never had anything but good encounters with the staff, they are very helpful and always happy for a chat, there was a nice girl going around the zoo last time with a koala that you could pat and take photos of and she was happy to answer questions etc.

We have been many times, and I love the place and so do the kids. The elephants are amazing. I agree with the food prices and quality, so each time we take our own lunch, there is always a nice spot to find to eat and relax.

this zoo is great. well worth a trip to. expensive compared to other zoo's though. but can save some money by packing a nice pinic lunch, many nice places to set up a pinic. also the food from the food court are expensive as you would expect but also really lacking in quality nice food that you would hope your money would buy. would not buy food there again apart from perhaps hot chips...
new africa part open, so lots to do and see.
