Had a great day, plenty to see and do. Plenty of walking 🚶, variety of food options. Great viewing spots for all the different animals. Will continue to do more of the animal encounters. This time was the Giraffe 🦒 snap shot 😀
Seen a lot of negative reviews about this place and I really don’t understand them. This place is the greatest zoo I have ever visited. It is huge and there is so much room for the animals to enjoy themselves whilst being protected from an unsafe environment. The keepers take really great care of each animal here and that is what matters! A lot of people have complained about how Steve’s legacy is being impacted negatively but I think the Irwin’s have done a fantastic job of continuing Steve’s mission. A lot of people don’t understand that the money we spend at the zoo goes towards protecting wildlife, and the negative reviews show that. It is better to think about what the Irwin’s are doing and how the zoo works to protect animals rather than thinking about the negatives. Purchasing tickets beforehand is a great idea to save the wait and for transport, a bus service is a great inexpensive way for again save time. The croc show was awesome and it was nice to be able to sit with the kangaroos and feed them. Again, this place is fantastic for education and is a wonderful place to visit.
The kids love the Zoo 😊 such wonderful family experience. I highly suggest a great day out at Australia Zoo on the beautiful Sunshine Coast.
There's not a great deal I can complain about 😂😂 Australia Zoo is very well maintained,bathrooms are always clean, service is lovely and the animals are very well looked after from a visitors perspective.
My little children love the "get wet area" and bounce pillow, such a great addition and my older children enjoy the interactions and Zoo in general 😊
Treat yourself to some awesome animal therapy, an ice cream and great shows.... stop in at Australia Zoo 😊

OK, Queensland is hot.
That said, dress appropriately for the weather that day and sensible shoes, as you will do a lot of walking.
There is an absolutely amazing amount of parking. This being said, it fills up quickly, and I have had friends on occasion turn up and the carparks are full. People will start turning up an hour before the park opens.
Please, please take the time to book your tickets online. This will speed up the entry process for everyone. As you can see from the photo of the entry taken 15 minutes after the park opened.
You are welcome to bring in your own food and drink. There are also a good amount of hydration stations where you can refill your water bottles.
The shows are great to watch, however if you have been a few times they are all the same. Again, great shows and very informative.
Many animals to look at, both native and from overseas. You can read about the different environmental projects they are a part of and if you wish, you can donate to one or all of your choosing.
Highly recommend making a day trip here, take your time and enjoy the shows.

A great family day! So many animals to see, interesting keeper talks, the Wildlife Warriors crocodile show is great, jumping pillow for the kids to have a break, lots of seats and shady spots for a sunny day, and more. Bring swimmers for the kids, and some frozen water bottles for a hot day. Highly recommended.
Wow! Wow! Wow! What an amazing place to experience.
From the lovely staff who scanned our tickets, to the zoo keepers who were so friendly and answered any question, to the friendly staff at Crikey Cafe. This zoo is exceptional, we were in awe from our first animal viewing of the Giraffes. Then it kept getting better. We were fortunate to watch the Tiger show, Otter show and the Crocodile show. These shows weren't animals being trained and doing tricks, it was to see how they behave in their natural habitat. We were so relieved, and watched on in wonderment.
Crikey Cafe was better than what I read in reviews. The salad wrap, cheeseburger and coffees were all good and reasonably priced.
Our best part was watching Robert Irwin and Nero show us what "not to do with crocodiles". It was so great to watch them with Charlie the Croc, and the love they have for them. Definitely gave me an appreciation for crocodiles 🐊
A big plus was finding the Irwin Turtle in his huge habitat. He's so cute and tiny😍
This zoo is ethical, with large habitats for all the animals, plus time away from public viewing to prevent them becoming stressed. You can truly see that all the animals are healthy, happy and loved. A zoo not to be missed.
Well done to the Irwin family ❤
