The zoo has financial problems, so every time I visit they have jacked up the price. God knows how much it costs now. Was over $30 when I visited last year, which is a lot for the small size of this zoo. The exhibits are pretty good. Except for the tiger and orangutan which can never be seen from the... More

I liked the layout of the Zoo it was easy to get around. I didn't like the fact that the Giant Panda's which were the primary reason for visiting the Zoo were sound asleep. More

This is one of my favourite zoo's, I remember visiting when they were renovating exhibits years ago & they had employed people to spend days studying the animals reactions to their new environments. Alot of thought & effort went into this zoo & it's lovely. More

Took our granddaughters to the zoo primarily to see the pandas. The girls were not disappointed in all they observed. One drawback, however, was the price of the food from the kiosk. Too expensive. More

Since I was a small child I loved to visit the zoo and it has never lost its appeal. Not overly fussed about the Pandas and the cost to bring them here. The zoo would not be in such financial problems without them. It is brilliant and so close to the city. Is a tad expensive, but you can stay... More

The Adelaide Zoo has had a lot of money spent on in apart from the Panda enclosure which is good but find the glass hard to look into because you see your own reflection. The gardens are beautiful - food areas are good and animals have great areas to wander. More

The star attraction of the zoo are the Pandas and if you are in Adelaide, I highly recommend a visit so you can see these cute and adorable animals. Just watching the two of them play and interact entertained me for quite some time. The zoo is also organised very nicely in terms of the layout, which meant browsing and... More

I've been here three times already. Never get bored even once! There are a lot of animals and the zoo is clean and have a nice layout. It is tiring because it is too big. The best part is you can pat the animal in children barn without having to pay extra fee. There is panda as well but watch... More
