Couples can share paid koala cuddles or giraffe feeds, relax on shady lawns between shows and photograph wildlife together, but heavy family crowds reduce privacy for an intimate date.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for couple trip: A 2–3 hour visit lets you catch top shows, walk main habitats and enjoy a paid koala encounter without rushing.

Australia Zoo is a must-visit destination near Brisbane, offering an unforgettable experience with a wide range of wild and endangered animals. The zoo is deeply connected to the legacy of Steve Irwin, showcasing his life and passion for wildlife from birth through exhibits and displays.

The zoo is spread out over a large area with a vast amount of animals to see. The crocodile show is a must to see. Plan your visit to ensure you allow time to get a seat to watch the show. I recommend you purchase food and drink from the restaurants near the crocodile show, as the other restaurants are more pricy. The food at all venues is good value. It is best to plan to spend the whole day at t...
