We went to Aus Zoo on the Croc Express tour which took us from the Gold Coast right up to Beerwah, on an airconditioned tour coach. Completely, utterly worthwhile :D :D :D Best day trip we've ever spent money on. Aus Zoo is HUGE and incredibly clean and beautifully laid out. Staffed by people who obviously want to be there... more

The spirit of Steve Irwin lives on in the most beautiful Zoo we have ever seen. (And we're from California, and members of the San Diego Zoo) The Australia Zoo has so much land (about 75 acres), and large green / lush habitats for their animals. The Irwin's goal of animal interaction is definitely evident in the layout of the... more

Well what can i say, the Australia Zoo visit was one of our best things we did while in the gold coast. The Zoo would be one of the cleanest Zoo's i have ever visited. each of the Animal enclosers were raked and not a stone out of please. Then all the carers were walking around and enabled you to... more

My daughter has been a Steve Irwin fan since she was 2, so this trip was 5 years coming and it didn't disappoint! Years ago we drove past Australia Zoo and it was small and tired looking. Now it's HUGE and run like a well-oiled machine. Be prepared to spend money, it's not cheap. But the money goes back into... more

I was much more impressed than I expected with Australia Zoo. Have visited many zoos, but this may be my favourite. The zoo is very well maintained, impeccably clean, the habitats are clean and beautiful and appropriate for the animals. Paths are wide and spacious. It's very well laid out, a shuttle train runs about the park, but we found... more

The Australian Zoo is the Disneyland of zoos. Very clean! Lots to do…but as soon as you get there you should go straight to the Information Booth to see what activities you can sign up for. These cost extra, but where else can you get in an enclosure with loveable, huggable absolutely adorable wombats?!? This is something I would have... more

My review is late in coming as our visit was March 2008. We traveled from California and the very first thing we did upon arrival in Australia (aside from a good nights sleep after a very long trip) was visit the Australia Zoo. Our trip to Oz was based a bit around our 14 year old and this was to... more

Ive been to a few zoos in my life but this definitely has to be the best. There are heaps of animals to visit and I absolutely loved the very unique kangaroo enclosure - you can actually walk through it and pat the kangaroos! The Crocoseum was also a great show. The crocodiles were massive! You can really sense Steve... more

This is Steve Erwin's zoo and the tributes to him are all over the place (they actually got a bit old after a while). The zoo is well run and has a nice variety of animals. We went to see the animals specific to Australia, so didn't even visit the tigers, lions and elephants, but stayed with the crocs, kangaroos,... more
