We visited the National zoo and aquarium encounter, this time for the W.O.W tour on the 14th May 2012, and WOW!! This tour is worth a look into, yes it does look costly, but what you get for the $’s a bargain. They have other tours and animal interaction. We had previous done the “Zooventure” tour, and this was the... More

BEST ZOO EVER!! I have travelled the world and visited so many zoos, but Canberra is my favourite by far! We did the Meet a Cheetah experience which was a wonderful way to get up close and personal with these beautiful animals. We also fed sun bears, lions and tigers, watched the playful otters and marvelled at all the other... More

The best thing about this zoo are the feedings. For only a $10 donation to conservation, you can feed the animals. I've had a brown bear lick porridge off my hand, a tiger take meat from tongs I was holding, and a giraffe eat a carrot from my hand. It's such a wonderful place. More

Arriving at the zoo, I thought all the negative comments I'd heard from Canberrans were about to come true as the external signage was minimal, and not welcoming at all. $35 entry was a bit steep, but I had come for a once in a lifetime experience - to feed the sun bears - this was an extra $50 for...

If you have kids and you are living around Canberra then you can visit this Zoo. This zoo is well maintained but little expensive. More
