Reviews
"What an awesome testimony to how Australia keeps and cares for the other animals of Earth. It is rather large and open and features a good selection of critters, fishes and mamamals. The staff were friendly and the placards informative. The signs you’re supposed to follow around the park seemed a bit confusing however that may be us. Anyway, well done!"
"Had a wonderful experience visiting. The zoo was clean and the animals had huge enclosures. The lion viewing was amazing, as you could see them without a cage/smudgy glass in the way. We visited on a Friday where it wasn't too busy. This zoo holds a special memory for me, my daughter and partner, while walking through the dinosaur sculpture area, my partner proposed. I will cherish this memory and place for the rest of my life. The gift shop was well stocked well and of course I had to get a giant plush animal. The staff were also very friendly."
"Huge zoo with aquarium combined which is super nice! Several activities family friendly and so fun. They offer many things to do, many new animals we haven't seen in the other zoos. We really enjoyed the beautiful walking tracks and a clean, fresh place. Animals look happy, well cared. Few animals they let the visitors to touch. Some cages are safe but still very close to the visitors so it look even better with so real closeup look. We really enjoyed the time here and it worths the price."
"I recently visited National Zoo & Aquarium in Canberra and it was a great experience! The animals were so well taken care of, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the grounds were very clean. We had a great time learning about the different species and seeing them in their habitats. It was an overall fun and educational experience - definitely worth a visit if you're ever in Canberra!"
"This place has the most variety of animals to see and the environment is clean and beautiful. Have been to Toronga Zoo, New Zoo in Western Sydney but this one has by far been the best to see. The aquarium however, is very small. Best day to visit the Zoo would be when the temperature is between 23~25C and before mid day so that the animals are out and about. Warm sunny days with the kids is a No No, it gets really hot and both the social animals and zoo animals find shade to rest in. Overall, an absolutely wonderful experience."
