How Kids-Friendly is Australia Zoo?

Children up to 12 enjoy free splash pad, shaded playgrounds, roo feeding and tiered keeper programs; water stations, rails and staff help parents manage energy and safety through a long visit.

Considerations for visiting Australia Zoo (with kids)

Positives:

  • Free Family Shows: Daily reptile, bird and elephant talks engage all ages at no extra cost.
  • Play & Splash Zones: Multiple playgrounds and a water park offer free breaks for young kids.

Challenges:

  • Walking Distance: The park covers 110 acres; use the Safari Shuttle to save tired legs.
  • Sun Exposure: Most paths have limited shade; bring hats, sunscreen and refillable water.

Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours

Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: Enough time to see key animal shows, feed kangaroos, and let kids play 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 grounds are clean and well-maintained, with conveniently located snack and drink stalls throughout the park...

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.

It is best to plan to spend the whole day at t...

Unfortunately, because the zoo is so busy and popu...

My wife and I visited Australia Zoo during our trip from Brisbane to Noosa. On the way, we decided to stop by the zoo.

It took about 5 minutes to walk from the parking area to the entrance. The ticket price was $...

The zoo was awesome, and there were plenty of animals to see in huge enclosures. Food is a tad pricey if you buy it from there, but they didn't stop us from bringing in our own snacks and beverages, so I would advise doing that. There are plenty of seating options while viewing, but unless you get a shutter bus or guide, you'll do a lot of walking, so be prepared for that as well. Would advise h...
