Great zoo to go to! I had a membership back in 2008, but just recently when I was visiting my mom and brother, I got a membership which was awesome and it was so nostalgic since I moved to Sydney. I loved the African Savanna and I got to see Jelani, Uzuri and Makeba the lions, despite them not used to Jelani, coz he’s a newbie. The one thing that pissed me off is when those little kids banged on the Lion enclosure and they didn’t even listen at all and I had to tell the zookeeper about this and they had sorted it out, which was good, coz wild animals need to be respected, coz they’re endangered and went to the zoo five times, when I had a 10 day visit and that really made my trip da best! So thanks so much Perth Zoo! So sad I’m gonna miss u, but it’s worth it and I’ll come back again, if I visit Perth again
I visited on Father's Day, the men didn't have to take a ticket it was free. The zoo was pretty neat. I loved watching the spider monkeys and the orangutans. The rainforest was really beautiful. But I wish the navigation should have been better, it was a bit confusing. Other than that, the zoo was really amazing, and I would definitely visit again with my family
Fantastic day out, I'd advise getting there early as the carpark fills up quite quickly.
Father's day discount was a great offer.
Despite the popularity the queue was so short we basically walked straight through.
The Zoo was lively and felt great.
The animals seemed happy and healthy, the Lion was super lazy, maybe time this with feeding time?
The exotic birds were really good, great to see them in such big environments.
Our favourites were definitely the Rhino, the tree kangaroo and the Orangutans, so full of character and spirit.
Seems there are some new attractions on the way, the construction of this was well maintained.
The food trucks were a pleasant surprise. I felt the place could of done with some additional toilets.
All in all it was a great day out, would highly recommend.

Great zoo, can be done within about 4 hours or so depending on how fast or slow you explore. Was with little ones so spent the whole day exploring and we went around twice and they were able to see more the second time around as was less crowded and animals were being fed and more active.
I would suggest going later in the day to avoid some crowds and maybe catch some feeding, currently have some renovations being done for the 125 year anniversary, should be done by mid September 2023.
Will be a fantastic upgrade of eating area and extensive kids playground.
If you have little ones they also have a fun activity booklet just inside the entrance where they can find all the statues around the zoo, bring a pen or something if you want to cross it off though as it's not provided.

Expected to see more. In the country of Coala and Kangaroo, I wish to see more of these creatures closely and in details. But the zoo just shows it without any explanation or interaction with visitors.
Otherwise is it a great place for kids and family to walk around.

Pleasantly surprised how big this place was a stone's throw from Perth. Had all your animals you would expect, lions, rhinos, monkeys reptiles and even penguins.
While we were there it was getting some new buildings. So in the near future it's going to get even better.

Lovely family day out. Annual membership is a good idea it takes only 3 visits to pay off and then you don't feel like you need to spend the whole day there, can come anytime for an hour or two.
We ate twice now at French creperie / pizza stand - Great pizzas and such pleasant staff.
