What an AMAZING experience! We traveled from the Gold Coast (2 hours) to spend the day at Australia Zoo and it was well worth the trip, the facilities were professional the premises immaculate, the shows didn't disappoint, and it was nice to see that commercialism hasn't overtaken Steve's vision for education and conservation. Tickets were well priced, food was both well priced and great quality of selection something I cannot say for the big amusement parks. Care has been taken to ensure the majority of the park is well shaded, which makes walking around much more comfortable in the Queensland heat. Cannot fault a thing about Australia Zoo and I highly recommend it for kids and adults alike.
