The Ultimate All Day Wildlife Experience!

Spend a leisurely 7 hours doing all the things that all our staff (including our zookeepers) would love to do every day, connecting with our amazing wildlife. Your tour will give you behind-the-scenes access to our animal’s homes and unforgettable close experiences with our special residents. Spend the day helping to care for a range of our endangered species, learning how the zoo is contributing to their conservation and making connections with some of our most engaging animals. Activities will vary based animal availability on the day but will include preparing food and enrichments, assisting with animal care and training, feeding, handling, and hands-on interactions. Species generally involved in the tour are lions, tigers, sun bears, lemurs, giraffe, rhinos, tree kangaroos, otters, Tasmanian Devils, deer, reptiles and a number of others!

Disabled Access

From $125 to $155

Specifically aimed at those who love the adrenaline rush obtained from being face-to-face with a lion, tiger and a sun bear! Hand feed these magnificent animals and the get as close as you would ever want to get to our beautiful hyenas!

Guests will also look for our leopards, have a python wrap itself around them (definitely optional) and to slow the heartbeat from racing to just fast, we will then have an introduction to our otters and meerkats.

The tour starts at 7.30am to ensure the big carnivores are at their most active and the tour stays in the lower part of the zoo. It finishes near the native walk in and can connect with the following tour.

*While every attempt is made to include these animals on a tour we cannot guarantee it, or the outcome/level of interaction, due to unforeseen circumstances (eg animals off display due to veterinary matter or enclosure maintenance) or the behaviour of the animals.
