Review of Adelaide Zoo

Had a great time on our recent visit.

Had a great time on our recent visit.

Entry Fee: Was glad to see a family ticket that allowed for 3 children!! Fantastic, we are often put off visiting place due to having to pay the extra child fee.
It's pricey for a family to get in (but average for this sort of venue) so make sure you make the most of your day there, by either having another adult to pop out and top up your 4hr car park or park further away in the 10hr spaces.

Extra Costs: Food was average price for a venue like this these days. So either make sure you've got plenty of food money or bring your own. We purchased lunch but made sure we took our own drinks and snacks. There is also the zoo shop full of stuffed toys and loads of goodies for the kids, we stayed away this time however have purchased things in there previously and found items in a huge range of prices to suit everyone.

Our favourite new addition: The Tamerin Monkey enclosure that goes across the path and along the edge of the lawn area near the rotunda. We loved it and spent a lot of time watching the monkeys. See our photos.

Could Improve on: the toilets near the playground area. Many people, including ourselves were shocked to only see 2 toilets there - they had wheelchair access which was great - but we spent a fair amount of time lining up for the toilet.
