Zoo y Acuario Nacional

Experiencia negativa: As annual Silver Card family members, we spend most weekends in the zoo with our children. However, we didn’t expect today's incident OUTSIDE THE ZOO has completely ruined our experience and trust We were walking our dog on the Bicentennial National Trail, which runs right alongside the zoo fence that OUTSIDE THE ZOO. We noticed a tiger in an enclosure about 20 meters away behind 2 separate fences. we were surprised so stopped on the trail to take a few photos for a minute. We were silent, and our small dog was also quiet and leashed. As we were leaving, a zoo vehicle sped over inside the perimeter. An overweighted male staff shouted at us extremely rudely: "Don't let your dog teasing the tiger! We have cameras everywhere and we are watching you!" This was shocking and confusing for several reasons: 1️⃣ We were on a public national trail OUTSIDE THE ZOO, a space shared with kangaroos, horses riders, cyclists, and other dog walkers. 2️⃣ If me, my kid and a quiet, leashed dog standing 20 meters away on a public path OUTSIDE THE ZOO behind 2 separate fences is considered a "teasing," it indicates a serious flaw in the zoo's enclosure design and security. 3️⃣ There are no warning signs whatsoever along the trail advising visitors of any risk or prohibiting stopping. The zoo relies on a simple fence facing a major public trail instead of a solid barrier or relocating the enclosure. Instead of addressing this design issue professionally (by building a proper wall, adding signage, or moving the exhibit), your staff's first response is to aggressively intimidate and threaten loyal members and public trail users. We will not be renewing our membership until significant changes are made to secure the perimeter facing the public trail. We also advise other trail users to be cautious when passing the zoo. We will certainly reported this public safety and staff conduct issue to the relevant management authorities.

Experiencia negativa: The staff at this zoo did not make us feel welcome and had the bare minimum of manners. Saying they didn’t want to make us milkshakes for no specific reason. They were making many rude and blunt comments. They really dragged the energy of this zoo.

Experiencia negativa: Staff were extremely rude and rude were not welcoming at all. Made school groups feel extremely uncomfortable.

Experiencia fantástica: Great day out for the Family and my son loves it. Buying the Annual pass was the best. When we add up the cost of the play centres we use during the week. The one off Annual pass was so worth it and 1/3 the cost overall.

Experiencia fantástica: The National Zoo & Aquarium in Canberra is hands down one of the best zoos I’ve been to in Australia! The zoo is huge with an incredible range of animals, and what made it even better was the number of opportunities to get up close and interact with them. We went in with no expectations (it was a last-minute decision), but it turned out to be one of the best choices we made on our trip to Canberra. I can’t recommend it highly enough! Tip: Start your visit from car park 1 or 4 and loop around the zoo at a steady pace. We made the mistake of starting at car park 2, got a little lost trying to find the aquarium, and found it tricky to navigate at first. All in all, an amazing experience and a must-visit when in Canberra!

Experiencia fantástica: Pretty awesome place we went throughout the week on a Friday it was nice not busy at all there is a big park area for the kids to play the first kiosk was a let dow they only sold pies and sausage rolls but it wasnt until we got to 3/4 of the way did we see the bistro definitely wait until you get to that one as they have better food, I didn't really see a lot of keepers around sadly as I always love saying hi to them but the place was very clean and well maintained animals looked happy and lots of enrichment for the animals I would imagine this is a huge operation to manage overall I had a good time and didn't get a chance to hear any keeper talks but happy overall. Great work been wanting to come for years.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely love this zoo

Experiencia fantástica: A very nice, clean zoo. One of the few zoos where I felt physically closer to the animals. Their enclosures were clean and accessible. Well marked paths so you could make out a good route to go around.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent place to enjoy with family and friends

Experiencia fantástica: Other than the unhappy lemurs it was really good. White lions were very tired and slept while we all looked on. Cheetahs were easy to see and one striding up and down. The giraffes were pretty cool too looking at us like he was talking to us. Loved the tiger who prowled around back and forth with his beautiful face.

Experiencia positiva: A pleasant little zoo unfortunately let down by a confusing layout finding the exit to park #1 was crazy lots of basic animals but definitely worth a visit just don't expect Taronnga Zoo quality

Experiencia fantástica: Always a wonderful day out. The upgrades are amazing. Rhino cafe is always a must stop at.

Experiencia positiva: El acuario es un grupo de peceras que no es gran cosa, pero el resto del zoo estuvo fenomenal.

Experiencia fantástica: What an amazing zoo! Do not underestimate this place, it’s full of beautiful animals, with spacious enclosures and brings a very safe atmosphere for both animals and visitors. Absolutely loved this place, and can’t believe I haven’t been before. Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Well set out zoo and gardens. Reasonable prices with friendly staff. Had a great time!

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome zoo and the accommodation experience is well worth the money

Experiencia fantástica: Had an amazing time at the zoo Went with my partner and we had a blast. Such a fun day — seriously, everyone should check it out. Laughed a lot, saw so many cool animals. Loved it! ✨

Experiencia fantástica: Lovely zoo friendly staff exellent experience very children friendly .

Experiencia fantástica: It was a great place to visit lots of nice looking animals

Experiencia fantástica: Well kept, compact zoo but the space has been utilised well. They just need better food availability. Pack your own food if you have children

Experiencia fantástica: Really enjoyed our visit to the National Zoo. There was a wide variety of wildlife and an impressive aquarium. The animals were active and well cared for, housed in large well-maintained enclosures. Definitely worth a visit!

Experiencia fantástica: A really fun day out. Shame about the rain but meant for a quiet zoo. The park is well laid out and thoughtfully put together. There are little adventure walks as you go round and a fab playground. It’s such a lovely setting.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent Zoo. Very well looked after and a real adventure for kids (and adults)

Experiencia fantástica: Great expericace. This place deserve 5 star

Experiencia fantástica: Impressive walk through of displays of animals. Kiosks provide good food.

Experiencia fantástica: We had the best day out at the National Zoo & Aquarium. The entrance fee is extremely reasonable. I paid extra for my boys (ages 13 & 19) to do the Meerkat Experience and it is worth every dollar. It is a memory that my boys will have forever. Cheers to Connor the Meerkat handler for his expertise and knowledge.

Experiencia fantástica: Zoo was amazing!

Experiencia fantástica: A must-visit in Canberra! The National Zoo & Aquarium offers an amazing mix of wildlife and marine life, with up-close animal encounters, friendly staff, and beautiful enclosures. Perfect for families and animal lovers alike!

Experiencia negativa: As a long time member of this zoo, I’m consistently disappointed by the customer service and the way members are treated. The membership gates always have issues, they’re difficult to use and it takes forever to be let in. The staff are often rude especially in the rhino cafe near the adventure playground. The food is overpriced. Last time I got chips, they filled the paper container halfway which is such a ripoff considering we all know how cheap chips are. They invest a lot in the playground which is clearly a money spinner for the zoo and it is quite good but theres always broken items in that area. This time there was a broken latch in the toddler section so my toddler couldn’t walk around freely. Another thing is they always get the membership expiry wrong on the newsletter, every single year. When I email them they don’t even respond. I think it’s a good place for a day trip for tourists but they need to treat their members a bit better.

Experiencia fantástica: Edit: Changed review to reflect below response. Thank you for explaining the situation, it just made feel upset in the moment but I can understand now the behaviour of the animals.

Experiencia fantástica: Lots of animals and granddaughters loved hearing the lions roar! Yes, it was freezing but the animals still came out. The meerkats are a personal favourite.

Experiencia fantástica: Went to the zoo recently with my mum, partner and our 9 month old daughter. Such a well presented zoo with a great amount of animals to see including the dinosaur section :) one of the best zoos in Australia

Experiencia fantástica: Family yearly pass is well worth it if you live in the area. I will often take the kids to just visit one area of the zoo fot a few hours. It saves having to rush or spend the whole day there.

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic zoo. Great atmosphere and wonderful staff

Experiencia fantástica: Fabulous zoo, the zoo staff are so friendly & knowledgeable. I did the sunrise visit experience, feeding the Tiger, Hyena, Meerkats, Otters, & got to hold a non-venomous Python!! Highly recommended.

Experiencia fantástica: Great day out for the family or if you are on your own.

Experiencia fantástica: Great day at the capital’s zoo. Not crowded at all and it just felt very nice to be here! Beautiful variety of animals.

Experiencia fantástica: Great little zoo, but still took us hours to see everything, worth the visit, really enjoyed ourselves. . Do it

Experiencia fantástica: Been here twice and both times it's been excellent.

Experiencia fantástica: We had an absolutely fantastic day. Animals are well kept and happy (especially the tassie devils who were having fun chasing each other around). Great variety of different animals and set out very well. The staff are lovely and very informative. It wasnt overly busy when we went so was great to be able to see the animals without huge crowds and being able to socially distance. Set out very well, was easy to traverse the park pregnant and with a toddler. Update 6/25 There's a lot of renovations happening especially in the aquarium (which is always my fav part). It will be amazing when its finished! Playground has been expanded since we last came and is huge and great for all ages!

Experiencia fantástica: Third time in three years I've been here, loved every time, the number of animals on display looked well looked after and the place was easy to walk around. Wish I knew more about that lemur with the amputated arm though, I could've sworn there were 2 at one time!

Experiencia fantástica: We had a fantastic day at the national zoo and aquarium. We did the cheetah walk and then did the enrichment tour. Both were amazing. The staff were all knowledgeable and friendly and we got so much out of the enrichment tour.

Experiencia positiva: Went early in the day. Cooler, overcast day and being early meant animals were more active and easy to spot. No crowds. Good coffee, yummy snacks. Really enjoyed our stroll through the zoo and the aquarium. It is more expensive entry than other zoos but a nice outing nonetheless.

Experiencia fantástica: It was an amazing experience. I really enjoy.

Experiencia positiva: I've never seen a zoo and aquarium like national zoo and aquarium where you can take a close look and most of the animals are not in cages so yeah highly recommend for families, school kids etc.

Experiencia fantástica: My family and I absolutely loved our afternoon here. Bit of a walk around, so make sure you have comfortable shoes on. We were there the wknd that they were celebrating their 10th anniversary, so we were able to join in the happy birthday singing and cake sharing after some yummy hotdogs and burgers in a beautiful parklike area of the zoo. It's worth a visit for sure!

Experiencia positiva: I was starting to worry that noone liked working at the zoo, dirty glass on the exhibits, looking very tired and not cared about BUT we went yesterday and it is a new place, the feeling is much better, it is cleaner and much better. I would like to know why the staff don't make eye contact though... Is it a rule that they shouldn't speak to visitors? We went with our three year old granddaughter who thinks the zoo is magical and she was ignored by every single staff member who walked past us.. . It was a bit strange.

Experiencia fantástica: We stopped by the National Zoo & Aquarium and were pleasantly surprised at how well set out it was. Easy to follow directions and beautifully landscaped areas for viewing & also in the animal enclosures & surrounds. Like most zoos, you won’t spot every animal, but even when not as active, you do get to see a lot. Kids will love the playground area and also the Dinosaurs hidden amongst the trees and bushes. Keep your eyes open for the T-Rex. It’s huge. If you are looking for something a bit more special, book an experience whilst you are there. I can recommend the rhino experience, where you go behind the scenes & get up close. I’d recommend booking in advance any experience as they do sell out quickly. The carved wooden sculptures along the way are good to see as well. Lastly if you can afford it, consider staying at the Jamala Wildlife Lodge. We didn’t stay as it was way out of our price range, but whilst walking around the zoo you get to see where people stay and how close they are to the animals. Looked like a once in a lifetime experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Our family visited the zoo with two children (9 and 15). Arrived at opening and spent around 4 hours at the zoo. The range of animals and the information on how they were cared for was excellent. We used the zoo map for orientation which was informative. The zoo had accomodation options and many different places. Mid morning our girls had an ice block as we walked around. The area of the zoo was pretty big but it was reasonably flat and wheel chair was accessible. I would suggest to have a hearty breakfast and a good set of walking shoes. Pro the predators and big animals cons the native animals ie kangaroos and wombats etc exhibits was not great. I have been to a number of zoos in Australia and overseas and this was the best one. We purchased the Canberra tickets (3 entries) which was a good deal for us.

Experiencia fantástica: What a fabulous place. The animals were so close and the customer service amazing

Experiencia fantástica: We recently visited the National Zoo & Aquarium in Canberra for the second time, and once again, we had an amazing experience! There is such a wide variety of animals to see, including some really unique species, all housed in large, thoughtfully designed enclosures that allow them plenty of space to roam. One of the highlights for us was the fantastic play area – it’s huge and perfect for kids to burn off energy. Ours could have spent the entire day there! We also loved the picnic areas near the café, shaded by trees, which made for a relaxing and comfortable spot to take a break. We definitely recommend arriving early to avoid the crowds and make the most of your visit. It’s a great day out for families and animal lovers alike, and we’re already looking forward to our next trip!

Experiencia fantástica: A wonderful experience with family, we visit the zoo more than once every year. Always refreshing to see the amazing animals. Highly recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Braved a very chilly morning start of 730 for the amazing "Awesome Roarsome Tour" a 90min spectacular. Enjoy the guided experience of feeding some of natures beauties. Share with yourself, and those close to you. On the 90 min guided tour you get to be up close with creatures you don't normally get to see every day. Given a personal rendition of each animal we encountered, their hierarchies and pet hates. Then the privilege of being able to feed the first morning snack of the day to such wonderful animals is an amazing experience to to not only part take in but also see your loved ones enjoy as well. We got to hold a corn snake, We fed The Alpha Hyena, We fed Jake the white lion. He let us know how displeased he was once the snacks ran out. We also got to feed very cute otters, One of the two brother Tigers, A still quite large but of the smaller of the Leopard types as well. A lovely beautiful female sun bear. She loved her sweet potato. And also gaze apon the meerkats after feeding them. And enjoy their shenanigans. My older teen and a younger say 8+ got to experience feeding each animal more then once, not sure if this was planned or not. Did make it seam more special. I definitely would rate this a 12 out of 10 ☆'s !! The wonder and amazement in my daughters eyes was well worth the money. Its an Experience they will always remember. Definitely not for toddlers. Once the tour is over your welcome to continue to look around the rest of the zoo. Check out the Aquarium and Reptiles and the Giraffes and more. Also a gift shop/cafe and a bistro as well. I would strongly suggest bringing a hot thermos of warm drinks with you in the colder months as the Cafe is not open before or during the tour. Please think eco smart and reduce waste by not bringing disposable coffee containers from outside the zoo. Wear sensible shoes. And appropriate clothing for Canberra's weather. You will not be dissapointed by what the NZ&A have to offer. They also advise to let them know of anything needed to aid or to be aware of ahead of time, to help visitors of all abilities get to experience the NZ&A. I will definitely be back again!

Experiencia fantástica: We love the zoo! My son is almost 20 months and he loves the lion and the aquarium. Plenty of parking, way too much to see and do in one day, the kids playground is the best I've ever seen, staff are super friendly and helpful, and it never feels crowded because it's so spacious. We bought the annual membership and we go several times a week so the little man can check out his favorites during the afternoon scaries. It really helps get through that hard afternoon period when little kids are cranky.

Experiencia positiva: Animals never disappoint. The only issue was there is no public transport to and from here.

Experiencia fantástica: Superb complex! Animals are very well looked after! They are well fed and obviously cared for with a lot of love. Animal enclosures are excellent!

Experiencia fantástica: Had a fantastic day at the National Zoo and Aquarium! The enclosures are beautifully maintained and the animals all look healthy and well-cared for. We especially loved the meerkats and tree kangaroos, so adorable! The donation EFTPOS is located inside the small shelter next to the tree kangaroo enclosure. Feel free to drop by and show your support! The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer questions. It’s a perfect place for families or anyone who loves animals. Planned to visit for a day and bought single -day tickets, decided to upgrade an annual pass! Highly recommend spending a few hours here!

Experiencia positiva: Beautiful zoo with a very natural feel. Animals were very active and easy to see. Not enough toilets around for the kids

Experiencia positiva: Travelled from NSW to see the place. Recommend buying tickets online (cheaper and quicker). Ample free parking is available on site. The enclosures are large but not many animals around (at least when I went). Our favourite attraction was the Sri Lankan Leopard. Don't recommend the "close encounters" as it's not value for money. Can cover the zoo in half a day, only a Cafe is open at the main entrance so it's ideal to bring liquids and food with you. The best toilet is located within the Aquarium.

Experiencia fantástica: As longtime fans of Taronga Zoo, we thought we’d already experienced the best when it came to zoos. But on our recent trip to Canberra, we decided to visit the National Zoo and Aquarium—and it completely exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the sense of space and openness. The layout gives you the feeling of being immersed in nature, and the family-friendly atmosphere was evident throughout. The animals were impressively active, and the keeper talks were informative and warm. The kids’ play area was a huge hit—not just for the little ones, but for adults too! It’s clear a lot of thought has gone into making the experience engaging for all ages. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and a special shout-out to Finn, who went above and beyond to assist us with a few questions. We left feeling thoroughly impressed and can confidently say it’s one of the most enjoyable zoo visits we’ve had. Highly recommended for families visiting Canberra!

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent zoo- a lot of diverse animals for a relatively small zoo, and a great aquarium section. The paths were really easy to traverse, the animals looked happy and well taken care of. Would definitely recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Huge zoo trail. Had so much fun!❤️

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing experience. Little one had so much fun. Place is really organised well with tracks and directions. Only issue is cafe. Best to be prepared to have some food for kids as Cafe was closed before 3 PM where all the food was expected.

Experiencia fantástica: Best place for kids and adult . We spent about 4hours walked around, eating inside , shop at the gift shop. There are plenty of resting area and toilet.

Experiencia negativa: Not worth 58 dollars, Not easy to find direction Cage is always empty, hard to find animal Parking is easy Beginning is boring Last places animals are rare Aquarium is small and boring

Experiencia fantástica: Great layout to access the animals from almost 360degrees, the playground at the end was so much fun and an attraction in its own. We were also surprised when we came across the interactive dinosaurs! This zoo has it all really. My kids are 2 and 3 and were able to walk the whole day no problem. Highly recommend. Also very clean and well maintained.

Experiencia positiva: Good experience would recommend it Plenty of parking but you have to make sure you get there early can take few hours to get through the park

Experiencia fantástica: Very organised zoo and lots of animals to see. You can spend a whole day here.

Experiencia positiva: Excellent well maintained zoo , highly recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome Dey hours spent so close to the animals, the open sites where you can get so close to the marsupials are brilliant. A must for all

Experiencia fantástica: Visit with my son multiple times. He love visiting every single time. Adventure park is lovely, very clean and green environment. Recommended for kids and young families.

Experiencia fantástica: We have been members at the Zoo for 3 years now. We absolutely love it. It has an amazing playground in the middle that is the best playground in Canberra, hands down. It has some animals that I'd never seen in captivity before, leopards, hyenas etc, and has really great little activities off to the side of the pathways to keep the kids entertained on the long walk.

Experiencia fantástica: Had an amazing Wild Night Zoo venture in the electric vehicle. Our guide and driver was delightful, well informed and fun. All the other staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. I highly recommend a visit to this very impressive zoo.

Experiencia fantástica: Came here with my partner for my 30th and had the best time ever. We did the Awesome Roarsome and Savannah tours, where we got to free all different types of animals. We also got to have an in person experience with the barking owl and the three cheetah brothers, where we actually got to go into the enclosure and pat them!

Experiencia fantástica: So many animals, I love that they have the zoo and an aquarium, staff are very friendly and helpful, easy to navigate with the map, price is a little high, paid $108 for 2 people but other than that I really enjoyed it.

Experiencia fantástica: Most aesthetic zoo I've ever seen - trees, pathways, sculptures, etc. Lots of interesting areas for kids to play, and typically several viewing points for each enclosure so you can get a good look for every animal. The range of animals is also very impressive. Make sure you set aside at least 4hrs for your visit, or else you'll be run off your feet because it's so large.

Experiencia fantástica: I've been to many zoo's and have to say this one goes down as my all time favorite. I'm so proud that this is our National Zoo. Well set out, a wonderful relaxing stroll through the habitats and surrounding landscapes and the animals are healthy and relaxed. Such a lovely day. Would recommend .

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing. Brilliant zoo especially the jungle exhibits with tigers, leopards etc. very relaxing walk around the adventure trail. And the adventure playground is one of the best I've seen.

Experiencia fantástica: Canberra Zoo & Aquarium is a fantastic destination for a fun-filled day with family. The well-maintained enclosures allow for an up-close experience with a diverse range of animals, making it both exciting and educational. The friendly and knowledgeable staff enhance the visit, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere. The zoo's layout is easy to navigate, with plenty of shaded areas and seating to relax. Whether you're watching majestic big cats, hand-feeding giraffes, or exploring the aquarium, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Highly recommended for a memorable day out!

Experiencia fantástica: One of the best zoos we've been to. Well set out. Loads for the kids to do. The dinosaur area was a great surprise. Highly recommended when in Canberra

Experiencia fantástica: This Zoo has such a cool layout. It's really fun to explore. Stunning enclosures too.

Experiencia fantástica: I recently did the Awesome Roarsome Tour and the African Savannah Safari. These were both such great experiences, I would highly recommend! With both tours we got to feed multiple animals and had a great tour guide who was very charismatic and knowledgeable, answering any questions we had. I loved getting to see the gorgeous animals up close and getting to feed them!

Experiencia fantástica: Something very special about this zoo. You feel so close to the animals in a beautiful setting. A delight to experience

Experiencia fantástica: Wife meets a cheetah, awesome experience. Well worth the $$$$. Loved the zoo, really great.

Experiencia fantástica: Impressive place. The best zoo i’ve been in Australia.

Experiencia fantástica: We are annual members at the basic level, and go there a few times a month to enjoy the animals and the lovely playground area. We had the absolute pleasure to buy one of the Wild Zooventure nights as a belated birthday present for our newly 4-yo kiddo, and it was amazing. Amy, our tour guide, was charming and chatted with both us and all of the animals (introducing us to them by name and giving us tips on future visits how to recognize them). We loved all of the behind the scenes looks at things like the animal quarantine zones, or the perimeter of the zoo on our cool "safari vehicle". Our daughter yelled that (on our first of several jaunts in the car), "This is my favorite trip EVER!" She also loved having Moo the Emu (which now I know I've been mispronouncing for my entire life, because it's "e-mew" not "e-moo") eat snacks out of her hands, and off of her head and her shoulder. Highlight of her trip. The charcuterie board, cheerful juice, wine and beer selection, and lovely picnic dinner with their rhinos (now I know their names are Ubuntu and Eco!) was so fun. Thanks again to all of the zoo staff that help make stuff like this happen.

Experiencia fantástica: Great zoo. Not as big as say Melb/Sydney zoo . But don’t really well

Experiencia fantástica: The National Zoo and Aquarium in Canberra is an amazing experience, especially for young children! My 4-year-old daughter absolutely loved it, and there’s so much to see and explore. The animals are well cared for, and the interactive exhibits make it both fun and educational. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, making the visit even more enjoyable. It’s a perfect family outing, and we’ll definitely be returning!

Experiencia fantástica: Stayed at Jamala lodge. Excellent experience. The lion encounter with Ryan was amazing. Never thought I would get to pet a Lion.

Experiencia fantástica: The National Zoo and Aquarium is an amazing place to visit. There is a wide diversity of animals from many different countries and the enclosures are set up well so it is easy to view them and take photographs. The Zoo Keepers are friendly and very knowledgeable about the animals, we were lucky enough to be around at feeding times and they explained a lot to us about the food and nutritional needs of individual animals. All in all, an excellent Zoo that we will visit again and again.

Experiencia fantástica: Been to Sydney Zoo and Taronga Zoo and I reckon this Zoo beats both of them. Great paths and things for the kids to interact with. Staff were friendly and helpful, price was good, animals were all out and moving around. Very recommend place to visit

Experiencia positiva: Canberra Zoo is an amazing spot for families, especially with the new park playground extension that opened in early 2025 – the kids can’t get enough! WE HAD TO GET A SEASON PASS! Their favourite animals include the peacocks, koalas, giraffes, lizards, cheetahs, and zebras, though the tigers can be a bit hard to find. The aquarium is also a must-see, but it’s a bit of a walk from the playground. The café offers good options, though some items can be on the pricier side. Thankfully, you can bring your own food, and there are BBQ stations near the children's area at the back of the zoo entrance. A fun day out with lots to explore!

Experiencia fantástica: We had a fantastic day at the National Zoo! Pack your lunch and prepare for an entire day looking at some incredible animals. You'll be able to get really close!

Experiencia negativa: I was disappointed with our visit, especially considering we paid almost $100 for me and my daughter .There were only a few animals to see, and most of them were sleeping or appeared exhausted. The fences were far away, making it difficult to get a good view of the animals. The aquarium was the biggest letdown, it was almost empty, and we were able to walk through it in less than 15 minutes. Overall, the experience did not feel worth the price.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience. A whole day spent very well with the kids.Has nice cafe with reasonable price.

Experiencia fantástica: I'm blessed to live in South Africa, where we have an abundance of wildlife and opportunities to see them in their natural habitat, so I'm not a fan of zoos. But this zoo is not anything like the zoos I have visited in my life. It's enormous and beautifully laid out in a logical way, if you follow the well marked numerical order. There are lots and lots of trees providing shade and shelter for the animals, and unlike most zoos, there are several viewing spots spread out around the animal enclosures, which give you a great view. The enclosures for the larger animals are huge, giving them lots of freedom, even though they are caged. The zoo was a buzz of activity with the large staff going about their daily business of feeding, cleaning and maintaining the place. The zoo is in a great condition, clearly as a result of an excellent maintenance programme. And did I mention that the entire zoo and aquarium is wheelchair friendly, which was a huge bonus for me?

Experiencia fantástica: The Zoo is an amazing experience for young and old. Two or three different entrances ensure you always find parking close to an entry. We pretty much walk around the entire zoo in about 6 hours with lots of time to observe some of the residents. Lots of leopards, lions and other wild cats. A wonderful Sahara display with everything you would expect to find . An amazing experience like I said. But then you would expect to be bedazzled for around $130 for a family of 4 in entry fees alone.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience loads of animals to enjoy.. Make sure to wear sunscreen in this weather..

Experiencia positiva: Plenty of car parks, although you may have to walk a bit to the zoo entrance. Limited toilets. Water fountains to refill water bottles. Can be confusing following the map as I didn't think it was that clear. Having a map up somewhere in the middle would be helpful.

Experiencia positiva: It's a great zoo but the maps and directions are very confusing & complicated.. they could do a better job with the map / directions..the current one is very confusing + there are multiple areas with the same set of animals like zebra / cheetah which makes it even more confusing.. also it's a bit pricey..
