Adelaide Zoo Review

I forgot how much fun the zoo is. I came for work and enjoyed it so much. The animals are well looked after and it is so fun to be up and close with nature. The monkeys are always a highlight, but so are the beautiful pandas.

It was a shame that the weather was a little cokd and most of the animals were hiding and the pandas were unavailable

Great place for family. Lots to see and very easy to navigate.

You should definitely go there when visitjng Adelaide. If I'm staying here, I would never hesitate to buy a membership card so that I can go in every now and then. For me it was amazing and I've seen animals that I've never seen in my life! I even saw animals I've been dreaming to see since I was a child (like the panda). You can go into huge cages to watch and interact with variety of wonderful birds and animals. Convenient natural and artificial spaces are made for animals to live on their own nature and not only in a cage.

Great service from staff, including the knowledge they have about the individual animals, it is a great place to be and if you are a photographer, fantastic opportunity for photos. become a member and enjoy more benefits.

We love the zoo! We love that they are changing and evolving for the benefit of the animals and that their education programs are fun and exciting for the kids. I will continue to support their conservation programs by visiting regularly. Thanks for a great day out!

Great place for kids. Staff very knowledgeable and provide good education about wildlife. Better to visit on a weekday to avoid overcrowding.

An well organized and clean zoo that ive seen so far. Definitely worth to visit.

Who doesn't love heading to the Adelaide Zoo. To celebrate the Chinese New Year we visited the zoo. There is a cafe and the food is reasonably priced and the gift shop is a place you need to visit.

Really great zoo with easy walking and a variety of exhibits, including contact areas for small kids to hang out with goats, quokkas, chickens, and deer. If you're thinking about visiting, grab the Adelaide entertainment book as the discount on zoo tickets easily makes up the cost for a family.

the zoo & animal care has improved so much over the years, bigger enclosures, less animals in 1 enclosure, we loved our visit today, also a great family day out, school excursions happening too

Visited the zoo on the weekend, lovely clean zoo but unfortunetly there were quite a few animal enclosures that were empty, the petting zoo not open during the weekend what you would think is the busiest time with families , and unsure how I feel about paying around $100 for the kids to play on a playground. The prices were a decent price and parking around the zoo is free on a Sunday which was helpful. Not sure if I would put the time in to go again in the close future.

Cute little zoo that is well set out and is very beautiful

Such a good zoo. Lots to see and super friendly staff. The star attractions in my humble opinion would be the two panda's (only panda's in the southern hemisphere) and the albino meerkat. Also all the other meerkats. Would highly recommend you visit the Adelaide zoo if you are in Adelaide.

Most of the animals were sleeping so bit of let down but overall not a bad time :)

Perfect day out with the family, food pricing is good too

The zoo is quite small but is a lovely place to spend a few hours with your small child(ren). Heads and shoulders better than it was 15 years ago! Entry prices are a bit extortionate unfortunately

world class zoo. i have visited quite a few zoos around the world and the Adelaide Zoo is definitely up there with the best. the animals are all very well cared for and the enclosures are all spaceous and well thought out and replicate natural habitats. down side is the price. 2 adults is about $76 entry i think worth it once in a while. large variety of animals.

This zoo has a great layout, easy to navigate and lots of activities for kids to stay engaged throughout the day. We loved the Monkeys

Fantastic setup well laid out and the kids loved it.

Very good. But,,,,,,very very expensive. Way to expensive

I love zoo's and this is definitely very high up on the list! As a tourist it was easy to get to on the bus from the city centre. It's mainly accessible for wheelchairs (be careful of hills) and with so many amazing animals to see it was definitely worth it. Very exciting for young children and a large variety of things to buy in their gift shop. Their pandas are also adorable and I learnt so much from the panda talk!

Lovely gardens and of course the animals. It was a Friday but it was not clear the food outlets in the centre of the zoo were not open. We would have planned our walk differently if we knew, which meant we did not eat at the zoo, disappointing.

Good zoo overall. Though we were disappointed they didn't have any koala's. An Australian without an iconic Australian animal.

Such a wonderful place to spend a day! The animal talks are very engaging and the staff are helpful.

This zoo is simply amazing! You get to see so many animals from around the world. This is a must-visit if you are on vacation.

The zoo has over a dozen different areas to walk through and sight-see. If you have children, or are looking for a one-of-a-kind experience, make sure you visit the feeding and petting area. They have food you can feed to deer, goats, and more.

If you are really feeling adventurous, you can even get up close with Kangaroos.

Make sure you say hi to Luke. He went above and beyond to make my visit here completely fantastic.

Great day out, very clean and tidy with most animals having fantastic enclosures. However I felt the lions didn't have enough space. Had lunch at the cafe where I had a nice wrap, pandas where they star of the show!

Overcast or light rain days are a rip off,
I know weather is unpredictable but should be discounts.
Animal shelters open and main event animals nowhere to be seen, empty enclosures everywhere, fig tree cafe food expensive ( expected ) another 10 % surcharge on top for public holidays, paid $40 2 coffee's fish n chips x 2 and 1 chicken crap wrap!!
Very dissapointed. Family saw all exists and finished by lunch, we allowed the day.
Other than that well set out and what animals that could be seen seemed healthy and bored.

I love the zoo but I can't stand seeing those poor seals in that tiny pool that needs to change and the lions in those small cages is so cruel.so. Oh those toilets near the farm animals good do with a good bloody clean they were disgraceful looked like they have not been cleaned in a week ,I was there yesterday.so I think there need to be a lot changes.will not be back .

Hadn't visited the zoo in years. We were surprised what excellent enclosures and overhead runs were created for the animals. Beautiful grounds to have lunch. Also, the magnificent Morton Bay Fig trees are a standout. The nature playground is impressive! Great job. Thank you

We had a great time. My 3yo loved the car pushers you can hire for $15 (No time limit)

Superb experience! Animals all out and active even with rain about the place. Good value for entry and would recommend to anyone. Probably don't want to buy food inside though. Great day out!

Never tire of watching and photographing the animals.

We loved taking our 8 months old there. he had a ball.

Good value to be a member you can go for a long time or a short time

Dinosaurs were good. Many of the enclosure appeared to be empty. To get the best of it make sure you get to the feedings.

Well laid out, with a great variety of birds & animals. Great day out

Congratulations Adelaide Zoo looking fantastic and the animals look healthy and happy. Babies everywhere today which is also a great sign of happy animals. Plus the gardens are also looking amazing. I had a very enjoyable and relaxing morning at your zoo.

Wow I was so surprised at the cost of entry! Not sure how families can afford it.......

Animals are very well looked after and most have spacious enclosures

Lovely day out. Kids love it. Pandas particularly are world class.

Love it! Love it! A must do in Adelaide! The only pandas in the Southern Hemisphere.

Pandas. Just a lovely place to spend a day. Fabulous new playground for the "kids"

Great set up. Very friendly staff wandering around asking if we were enjoying ourselves and if we needed any assistance.
Very knowledgeable staff on animals too.

Lots of fun it's smaller than Melbourne zoo but perfect for kids. The dinosaur display is great too. Got a great video of the newborn meerkats.

A very nice experience, with a lot to see. I am not giving it 5 stars as the Adelaide Zoo doesn t give much room to the animals, but Monarto Zoo would get a 5 star for this.

Lovely zoo, I got to feed the giraffe in my lunch break! So beautiful

Had a good variety of animals. However had to look from a distance, especially lion and tiger. Not among the largest zoos with numerous animals, but my daughter enjoyed a lot. Limited vegetarian food options. Free parking on Sundays.

Fantastic zoo with Ice design and clear directions. Best variety of animals are kept here. Although the smaller dimensions of this zoo makes creature viewing more interesting, it does make it seem somewhat crammed for the critters. Every trip this is a fun and enlightening experience for me personally

It's a good place for seeing the people and animals

Good family outing but a bit on the pricey side especially when you take into account the amount of empty enclosures

Amazing place to take the family and see awesome animals

Still continues to b a great place to take the family.

Overwhelmingly sad, the exhibits are small and artificial. Worst bit, watching a hippo try to negotiate concrete steps. Best bit, meerkats. The conservation aspect is important, but they could make better use of the space - eat the goats and give the giraffe more room.

Great zoo with. ice layout and clear instructions. A great variety of animals are kept here. Althouh the smaller size of the zoo makes animal watching more entertaining, it does make it feel a bit crammed for the animals. That said, they are looked after by very passionate and knowledgeable staff. Every visit here is an entertaining and educational experience for me

Fabulous experience! We did so much walking, love it plus Brutus! Would like to see perhaps more water stations to refill water bottles.

Went on a very humid day, but had a great time. Hardly any people around, and was easy and safe with toddlers. Shame certain things werent open.

Lovely zoo. Memberships are defineatly worth it. My daughter loves the playground there too

Still a delight to visit when we come to Adelaide. Would have to be one of the best inner city zoo's in the world.

It's a great place to spend a day especially with kids. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Quite pricey to get in though so save up the pennies. I do understand the cost of upkeep I just worry that not everyone can afford to take a family.

Great range of animals & info on them, and a great little cafe there for lunch!

Clean and tidy. Animals seem healthy. Did an animal experience and loved it.

Easy to get to and park and not too hard to get around

Always such a beautiful place to take kids. Lots to see and do, and shady places to rest and eat your picnic.
There are 2 petting zoo sections, 2 cafes, a bbq area and places to fill up your water bottles.

Very reasonable membership that also gives you a discount in the gift shop.

Great place for kids they can really enjoy a lot of the exhibits

Good place to wander around but needs more choice of eating places.

Had a good fun with roommate. Kinda talking to the Animals.

Absolutely wonderful place to visit for a day trip, always a good time.

Easy to navigate with a large lawned area for picnics as well as a climbing playground for the children. More animals would be great.

Absolutely enjoyed my experience at the Adelaide Zoo.

This was not a visit. I have food and was looking to see what facilities they have. Best they offer is a wheel chair.

Best zoo in Australia so close to all the animals and well laid out beautiful gardens wonderful!

First class
Grandkids really enjoyed it.
Well laid out

Amazing range of animals and things to see and learn about!

Been 10 years since last time. Great place to visit...lot of work to keep it looking its best. Quite expensive for a family day out, otherwise fantastic.
