Adelaide Zoo Review

The pandas attraction is the best! I was lucky to visit the zoo with the meet the pandas package and able to see the red pandas being fed in the morning - they are so adorable! Would love to visit again:)

The kids loved it and I hadn't been there in 25 year's the place had really changed sad to see no more Satan. And the over abundance of birds was disappointing $95 to get in $100 for lunch that was very good but made for an expensive day. Lot's of animals were locked away and the Giraffes poking there head's out of locked enclosures was a disappointment to the kid's. We tried to get a more personal look at the animals but because it was a Tuesday there wasn't anything we could do. The volunteers were excellent but if I'd do it again I'd head to Monato not the city zoo

Was fun visiting this zoo but seeing some animals they look sad tho :( not sure if it was just us.

Really Great. Loads of animals to discover. Make sure you check out the Panda's their amazing. Food available from 2 places. 1 is a restaurant another is more casual with outdoor seating. A great day out. Reasonable admission prices. DO IT you wont regret it.

Magical place. The staff are generous with time and knowledge. This zoo is more than a collection of animals, it's a place of loving nature

One of the best zoo I have seen so far in Australia. Staffs are friendly and helpful. I would really like to visit again.

Not bad. A few sections closed due to repairs/updates

Great place to drop in for free (if you are a member as I am), great new playground for the kids and good restaurant for lunch. Membership works out to similar to two visits - so if you are going more than that, it is worth it!

Fantastic zoo, great fun for parents and kids alike - the animals seem happy and well cared for. The panda exhibit was very special

Great day with the kids. Everything you would expect from a zoo and an awesome playground too. Pretty pricey but no more than other zoos.

Could not fault our experience. The pandas were easy to see and very close. The lions were amazing and very close. A lovely lovely time was had. Well done adelaide zoo.

The animals had very humane enclosures and looked well groomed and well fed. Overall, it was a great experience

Ooh my gosh I really enjoyed visiting Adelaide Zoo! For the first time it's not as crowded as the other tourist attractions I've visited in Queensland. They have so many different animals and I've learned some new things about them. I especially loved seeing the pandas and giraffes and the monkeys with mustache and cape. :) The place is great for children as they have an educational section for them.

I love the zoo. The updates that have been made are great.

A great place to visit whether on your own as a couple or as a family. Lots to see, excellent zoo keepers who will answer questions, inexpensive experiences you can book ahead online

Shattered that it's better than Melbourne Zoo... only let down was lion enclosure and especially the Seal exhibit.. a ton of unique animals, great displays of old and new. Might want to bring your own food and drink as can take a while to buy something.

Very clean. Friendly staff. Nicely laid out. Enjoyed the day.

It is an awesome zoo, still building and doing lots of renovations, when it's finished it will be even more awesome

Excellent experience. Good family day activity or something for travellers wanting different so close to the CBD.

Great loved it there messages on conservation are awesome

Had a great family day out there. Its a lovely little place and seeing the giant panda was amazing

Good experience but not best. Will recommend for kids upto 15 years only.

In my opinion, Adelaide Zoo is one of the best zoos in Australia. It's close to (virtually IN) the city, has a beautiful garden layout, a modern playground for the kids, a good variety of animals in nice enclosures, and is not too hilly.

I'd give it 5 stars if it were a little cheaper. Ever since they built the overhyped Panda enclosure it went from pricey to "over the top".

Price aside, it's a beautiful zoo and I go whenever I get the opportunity. I recommend you go too!

Note: My photos are from an animatronic dinosaur and insect exhibition that's currently (Jan 2019) on display.

We went today to see the new children's zoo which has been open for a while. Looks lovely for the goats. Doesn't look like you can go in with any animals, so we headed up to the qwokkas who haven't moved yet to say our goodbyes

Love the zoo, they have qoukas!!!!
Apart from the cute qoukas, they also have a beautiful panda. The zoo is setted up with love and it's a nice place for young and old

Very good day out and walkable from the city centre

As far as city zoos go, it's not bad. The kids love it and the new kids adventure playground is awesome. If it distresses you to see animals in too small enclosures, you know not to go. Had a good day myself and 9 yr old loved it.

Awesome Zoo, Had a great day here with my kids. Best in Australia.

Visited the zoo a couple times in my life time and it's always clean, as kids even adults will enjoy themselves. It's a great walk around the zoo but it's worth it. I always enjoying visiting the seals and meerkats as well the butterfly center as well. I will have to go back and take some pictures whenever I am free

Lots of fun at this zoo with excellent and friendly staff, food was above average!

Nice zoo with a really great children's play area. Probably one of the best places to bring kids to in Adelaide.

Great family outing. Kids love learning about our earth great creatures. Then there's a cool playground to wear them out for the trip home.

Loved the Adelaide Zoo. Loved those cheeky meerkats!

Was a nice day and our boys loved seeing all the animals great day

There is no parking available on the grounds of Adelaide Zoo, Entry is via Frome Road..

12 months Subscription (unlimitted entry) are the most cheaper option to Adelaide Zoo and Monarto Safari Park plus 10% off at Adelaide and Monarto s Shops and Cafes..

Food pricing was good, The restaurant is comfortable and affordable. But the diversity of animals is not very good. no much interesting activity.

Pretty good. Lots of animals hiding and the Bloody Panda wouldn t turn around and say hello.

Well managed zoo with domestic (but really exotic for foreigners) animals such as kangaroos and koalas. Fun to go and observe the animal habitats and behaviours under the simulated conditions.

Great place for a family day out! Excellent food options, and plenty of outdoor space if you'd prefer a picnic!

Beautiful environment, helpful people and lots of wildlife.

Most enjoyable. Long time since I had been so changes very noticeable. Gardens are lovely & well kept. Animals look healthy & happy.

Everything is good. But not much animals compair to other zoos. I feel there are no value for entry fee pf $30..

Adelaide Zoo was AMAZING! Really good and much cheaper than Sydney with the encounters! And loved the photographer too for my meerkat encounter!

Not really much of a zoo anymore, overblown dedication to pandas.
Two lions only real exciting animals.

Very nice we went during the week and was very quiet my son 9 months old loved the birds being up and very close great place and short walk from the cbd

Well set out. Pleasant to walk around. Pandas were great. The only drama was the long queue waiting to get in on the holiday morning.

We held an event in Sanctuary, staff were fantasic from booking/planning right through to the service on the night!

A beautiful place to be. Unfortunately, rather expensive to get in.

Nice place to observe animals and spend time with nature.

Incredible Place!! So many animals, well laid out & the numerous Zoo volunteers were amazingly helpful & informative. Best zoo ive been to (& ive been to many!)

Excellent adventure playground for the children. Very informative presentations by the Zoo staff. Highly recommended

Busy from 11am to about 230pm then crowds dispersed. Was much better later in day with less people and animals seemed much more active. Lots to see and do however expensive day our for family of five.

One of the BEST i have been to. If your ever in Adelaide go to the ZOO.

The kids really enjoyed the Dinosaur event the Zoo was having during school holidays.

Beautiful place with lots of animals. The highlight for me was definitely the panda, the area is beautiful. Lots of birds and cages with an immense variety of birds. The monkeys are good fun too. I didn't see any elephant but I guess the space is too small for them. Giraffes and tigers are there too.
The playground is good for all kids. Bathrooms are well available through the park and they had a presentation on the grass in the afternoon with animals that was interesting. Chips are 7 dollars so bring your own snacks or pay.

Great zoo that lets you get close to the animals. Beautifully landscaped, enjoyable for the whole family.

Loved the trip. Good to see the animals and they were well liked after on such a hot day.

Had a great time here and was very lucky to have seen koalas. Well laid out with plenty to see and clearly a popular place given the amount of school groups and families visiting. Well worth a visit.

Despite arriving quite late in the day, we got there in time to see the tiger feed which was exceptional! The zoo is well kept and has lots of space.
Loved walking through the chickens in the animal farm and seeing into the animal hospital.
Overall lovely zoo visit and we got around to most enclosures even given the late arrival.

I had an amazing experience with the Spider Monkeys today, I highly recommend it. All the staff we met were very friendly and professional.

We have been to several zoo's in Australia and Adelaide zoo is very average. The animal enclosures are very dated and the animals seem miserable if you can see many at all. The children's petting area had only goats when in the past there was an abundance of animals to meet. Parking is almost as expensive as entry. Head to Monarto or Cleland instead.

Great having membership. We can go any time, have fed the giraffes and love the keeper talks

Great place to visit for half a day. Plenty of animals to see and all enclosures look to be well maintained with animal's comfort and wellbeing as a focus. Even there is a children's zoo area where goats can be fed and petted. Meerkats were the highlights of our day.

Was so different and so much change for the good of the animals since I have been there .. love a the increase of shade and trees around and places to sit ..

had an amazing day here, saw the adorable white meerkats, the gorgeous hippos and so many more sweet creatures, cant wait till i visit Adelaide again to explore some more. really worth the visit if you love animals and seeing so much up close.

My day out here was my favorite in a long time! The best part was the giant pandas but I love how all of the animals are at the same height as you, you don't look down into enclosures, and all of the animals were visible and happy and had plenty of space! Great facilities for all ages and a beautiful zoo. Great day out!

Great place for kid. Open 365 days. Huge playground. Highly recommended to join the annual membership.

Very nice zoo with conservation efforts. Fun to visit with the girlfriend.

A very lovely zoo. Great conservation info and efforts. Beautiful animals. Everything you want from a zoo.

Surprisingly great experience for adults... Really enjoyed the variety of animals and the zoo is really very well laid out for exploration!

Beautiful and healthy animals... Well taken care of

Its great to see all the animals and while I can understand that all the animals have to be fed and that comes at a price, does it have to come out of our pocket? the food is ridiculously expensive, as is the entry fee. It is offputting. By reducing the entry fee and the food price, you will attract more customers who will the buy more things so you will make more money anyway. Simples!
