Reviews
“If you have a soft spot for animals of all sizes then Australia Zoo is simply a must when in Queensland. Carrying on the amazing work of Australian Icon Steve Irwin, Australia Zoo is the home to many animals and the best part is you can be a part of it too. I need to go back and spend an entire day there to fully grasp all the zoo has to offer. Our tiger encounter was definitely an amazing once in a lifetime experience that I would recommend to others, especially given the rate at which tigers are becoming endangered. Australia Zoo allows you to sit beside and touch a real live, breathing tiger. This is something words cannot describe…it was purely magical being this close to such a big jungle giant and it’s something I will get to tell my kids about when I get older.”
“Love it!!! Such a beautiful place. SHow was great. Staff very friendly. Will be recommending for sure.”
“Great to see the zoo is looking better than ever and loved the newly opened Africa/Safari section.”
“Australia Zoo was 10 times better than I expected. I reccomend to anyone holidaying on the Sunshine Coast. Staff very helpful and food at reasonable prices. Only complaint was the merchandise was quite expensive. Crikey!”
“A lot bigger then what i thought! Had great live shows and the staff were very friendly. Would recommend anyone coming to the Sunshine Coast to visit Australia Zoo! ”
“Zoo was fantastic!! Lots to do, see and learn. Shows were impressive. I was very impressed. Will recommend to guests. Thanks for a great day.”
“Never a dull moment, always something to do here! People are very helpful. The whole place is absolutely AMAZING!!”
“The Giraffe Encounter was so much fun and soooooo personal and informative. The staff were exceptional and very well trained in their field. It was actually quite amazing being up so close to them and have the experience of feeding them by hand and mouth!!!! Can you believe!!! Shaz and I both appreciated this opportunity and will certainly be able to spread the news about this fabulous experience for those attending the amazing Australia Zoo. Thanks again.”
“My trip to the Australia zoo was great.The new Africa part of the zoo is amazing.. The Africa area is a fun short ride away from the main zoo in an open air zebra shuttle. We got dropped off at "AFRICA" An amazing large area full of animals from Africa after a 200mtr walk to the end your met by some men from africa playing the drums,plenty of spare drums for anyone to join in,, and at 1.30pm they have a music workshop.
I believe in months to come they will also have a cheetah running track..etc ”
