The Perth Zoo is a good zoo- the animal enclosures are big and modern. Try to organise your timing so you can see the elephants showing off in their enclosure. As you'd expect, there are a lot of Australian animals. Don't go in the middle of the day 'cos lots of animals will be asleep- especially on hot days. The... More

Had not been to the Zoo for years and had a nice relaxing day at my own pace with my camera! Allow at least 3-4 hours if not a whole day, take a picnic lunch and enjoy the atmosphere. A great day out for children, parents and grandparents alike. More

Highly recommend every tourist to visit our lovely zoo. After travelling around the world a few times its nice to see we as Australians have a high quality of care for our animals. The zoo is very easy to get to, close to the city, very clean, safe and secure. many food options and the kids absolutely love it. More

The zoo has changed dramatically since I was a child. I am very pleased for the animals sake. Trouble with accommodating their needs though is the fact that they are prone to wandering off from the public eye and sleeping in inaccessible places. I wouldn't want it to go back to the way it was but it is hard to... More

Over the years I have been to many zoos in many countries but there are few that are any better than the Perth Zoo. Aside from its renowned breeding programmes for endangered species, the zoo is constantly striving to keep itself up to date and relevant. It generally succeeds very well at doing so. A definite must see especially for... More
