Perth Zoo Reviews

Outstanding zoo. Perfect size for a day. No commercial hard sell ( you can leave without passing through the gift shop if you want!) Clearly really care for their animals. Amazing husbandry and enclosures, orangutan training program is world leading, elephant gets walked daily around zoo on footpaths which is amazing to see. Just excellent all round!

Beautiful setting with many trees, lovely pathed walkways around the whole of zoo. Very well set out with many animals all in excellent enclosures that are extremely clean. Wonderful lawned area and tables for enjoying a packed lunch. Many toilet facilities, water refill stations, vending machines with snacks located all over grounds

One of the best Australian Zoos i have ever stepped into. A good variety of fauna, excellent amenities and the kids loved it. Considering we went on the Teddy Bear picnic parking was good, fee excellent.

Recommend a visit

Nice day out for the family however its a bit pricey for a large family group, $100 for 2adults and 3 kids. Food and drink prices are outrageous $3.60 for a 390ml coke. no need to charge so much for items i believe.
Nearly all of the main animal's where asleep or not visible, bit of a let down for the kids,the staff should make more of an effort to get the animals feeding during the day so visitors can see more action overall experience was good.
Parking is a bit pricey around the zoo area $21.00 for 9am to 5pm and there's not to many available parking spots after say 10am as all bays are full.

This is situated 3 kilometers from the city center. My favorites are kangaroos, koalas, wallabies, wombats, and Tasmanian devils. You can also enjoy an elephant show here. This zoo is easily accessible by bus, car, train, and bike, and you can also hop aboard a ferry from Barrack Street jetty.

Wonderful place for day out with family. Mini train ride is good too

Excellent place to visut, with ir chithout children. Great walk and very interesting didactics. I am imoressed with the overall layout and scope of the zoo. Much thought and consideration has gone into this.
Plenty of toilets and picnic spots. Take water and a hat!
The current "Zooassic Park" display of dinosaurs is also impressive.

Nice small zoo but too expensive: entry $32, plus ypu need to pay for the parking and if you want to rent the trolley it's another $13. They seem not to take into account that people re going to buy food and drinks too. Also for many of the shows you need to pay extra. Would be better to just have one fair price because $32 per adult it's not cheap and nothing is included into that. Not even the parking.

One the best zoo's in the world. Lots to do for all ages. Good food outlets. Easy access by road, bus and ferry.

Perth Zoo is a great place for a fun family day out. I usually just go with my partner or a friend so it's good for couples or small groups as well. There's a huge variety of animals to look at, and apart from the animals, Perth Zoo's gardens are absolutely beautiful. Facilities are well maintained and presented, staff and volunteers are friendly and informative. The only down side is that the cafe is incredibly over priced, avoid eating and drinking at the zoo if possible. You are allowed to bring a picnic basket or sausage sizzle, don't hesitate to bring food or drinks, but no alcohol. Perth Zoo is a great place to go for a day out, and I recommend it to anyone.

Amazing! Very easy to spend an entire day here. Make sure you do some of the guided tours and lectures though; very informative and informal. Take some food in with you though as it gets very expensive inside.

A great zoo. Has a wide variety of animals, the path ways are clean and easy to follow, and a lot of effort was made to make you feel like you're not in the middle of a city. From the hidden speaker to the lush green plant life, you'll forget where you are after you walk around a bit. The in park food court is nice, tastey and kid friendly. The beef burger is a bit too small. Overall a great family experience, just make sure to come early, as you can easily spend a whole day there. There are plenty of places to stop and sit, water points and vending machines, and even a free shuttle if you're tired.

Great place to take kids for half a day .. lot of animals , great walks , staff are great large play areas to sit down and have meals .. good value for money if you are going to visit multiple times in a year would suggest getting a membership

A great zoo, spacious, species-appropriate and divided by continent. I particularly liked the Australian part.

Good display and plenty of room for the animals on display.

Great day out, really enjoyed finding all the dinosaurs

A little disappointed.
There are many moving models of dynos.
Very few animals

Lovely zoo and great bird enclosure. Wonderful amenities and lovely staff

Great zoo, enjoyed the time, 42 degrees the day we visited.....a little to hot for zooing it!

Had a nice time and certainly the dinosaur exhibits made up for the fact that a lot of the animal exhibits were missing, or being upgraded. Still a fun day.

Fabulous place to visit for all ages. Good value money. Great facilities

Impressive, well-maintained enclosures. Informative displays.

Favourite place to spend the day with the family. The Zoo Friends pass pays for itself after the third visit.

Fantastic place for a family day out especially on Ted's Beer picnic when they have loads of entertainment for the kids.

It is a zoo that is not very big and is loved by clean adults and young children.

The place has a lot of diversity when it comes to animals.

Never bored and there is always something to see you haven't before.

Amazing place to bring kids, worth getting a zoo membership if you are going to come multiple times a year.

A well kept zoo with good visitor facilities. As with all such establishments there are things that could be done better but costs and income have to be balanced and the welfare of the animals must come first. Our granddaughter (6) thoroughly enjoyed the day and grandpa and grandma had a good time as well.
Parking can be a pain but that is a consequence of having such an urban location where the city grew up around the zoo. All in all, access via private or public transport is pretty easy.

Well set out enclosures with lots of shade both for the animals and humans. Extortionate prices at the cafe.

Always excites the whole family everytime we visit the zoo.

We hadn't been to the zoo in a while and decided to give it a go. We got there mid morning and aimed to cover as much territory as possible. It was a fairly cool day so it was easy to walk around. The grounds were well maintained, information pc to environmental and sustainable practices. I must say it's cleaner now than I remember it. My son and his friend were keen on the play area which was fine as we were intending to convert our day tickets into an annual membership. However, we had to rush off as time got away. We forgot to convert our tickets and when I did remember, I quickly emailed to ask if we could still do so, explaining our circumstances. It was about 3 weeks late which if the annual pass started on the day of our visit, would make little difference. However, despite escalating it, they said it was impossible to accommodate.

Great day at the zoo today Thankyou for the extra surprise lawn games and letting us help celebrate Trisha the elephants Birthday my boys loved the walk through and cake eating! Walking through the tropical gardens was just absolutely great

Great zoo that raises awareness and money for animal welfare and wildlife conservation

Fun place to check out. Worth getting a zoo friends pass.

Good place to go with family and friends in the weekend. Great for children to spend the day.

Great place for kids ... Helpful staff... Wonderful place for family outing.... Not much options for snacks for kids...

Had the most wonderful day. Even took the Zebra Cart ride... Great to get some info from the volunteers...keep up the great work.
Mima and Sally answered all questions put to them.

It was great! And plenty of shade walking through the zoo which was good. Many of the animals were "hiding" so didnt get the full experience, otherwise it would definitely be 5 stars!

Great area and size of the zoo. A lot of walking is required so be prepared to sweat and tire. Ideal you should bring your own food as the prices inside will knock you off your feet. The elephants are a must see

Lots of animals but most of them were asleep or hiding in the back. Food is a bit pricey and I am not convinced the fish in the fish and chips right.

Great Place for family picnic, specious garden and play area for kids. Well maintained zoo with various kind of animals. Special attractions are rhinos, jiraf, elephant, tiger and lions.

Perth zoo is the Best Zoo in Australia .Without Travel this zoo Dont Judge other Zoos in The Country .My Eye capture This the Best Zoo .Nice place to Travel. Beautiful State to.
Thank you

I love this place. Children need well run community zoos to socialise (sic) and form attachments with wild animals.

Excellent day out and cheaper than some other parks. Tours are veey good and even the food isn't that bad either. Would highly reccomend

We walked around the entire zoo, the place was well organised and even though most animals were asleep, there were still many things to see and places to go. Especially love the rainforest bridge.

Teddy bear picnic was a success. Beautiful day and plenty of happy animals and kids. Great job to the zoo crew

Parking can be a bit of a pain, but the zoo is excellent and well laid out. Lots of friendly staff on hand to answer questions.

Great day out with young kids, although entry was pricier than I expected.

Poor. Many enclosures closed or empty. Penguin pool dirty. A bad time of the year to visit.

Great place, great range of animals, very easy to forget that you're in the city.

Lots of great exeriances with animals, but more shade should be provided in such areas!

Great zoo. My kids and their cousins loved exploring around and checking out the animals.

Many monkeys,but,very few other animals,the entrance for what there is to see is not cheap.

Fantastic experience with the visit to the zoo before opening times. Staff were brilliant and knowledgeable

Another place for family outings in Perth. You can bring a lunch box, there is a restaurant where you can have light meals, and an outdoor barbecue. I tried to make the animal display similar to nature, but it seems that there is a limit due to the small place.
However, all of them seem to be muma because they are very close to downtown.
The ecology of animals is supplemented by guides and videos, and it is radiated for maximum experience with animals.
When visiting this place, I would recommend that you take advantage of the hourly corner.
The corner, conducted by animal experts and zoo staff, can touch animals up close if you are lucky.
It is also a turning point where children can rest for a while. Regrettably, the restaurant area has no special features, most of which are simple Yogi streets or drinks, and fortunately there is ice cream for children.
It is recommended to prepare enough water on a hot day, and as with all tourist spots in Australia, it lacks shade, so it needs to be countered. Why don't you try to be the best dad for the kids this weekend ... In addition, it will be fun to dive into the world of concentricity for a while.

Hardly any animals in their enclosures. Very disappointed.
