Experiencia fantástica: Great for school kids and families

Experiencia fantástica: I was delighted to take part in the Awesome Roarsome Tour and the African Savannah Tour with Abby. I just loved it all so much! So many up-close interactions with the beautifully well-kept animals, in well-maintained grounds. I enjoyed learning about them and seeing their unique traits and funny antics first-hand in person! Especially Jake the Diva lol! I appreciate it all very much and would highly recommend doing these tours if you get the chance, you will not be disappointed! I definitely plan to come back to Canberra for this Zoo!

Experiencia fantástica: Great zoo. Very well laid out and landscaped, mainly flat and good animal enclosures with multiple viewing points. Plenty of parking and multiple entrances so that you're not forced to walk all the way back to the main entrance from carparks 2, 3 and 4. Well worth the cost.

Experiencia fantástica: The zoo ia lovely witj lots to see. I came back to do the Awesome Rawsome Tour and the African Safari and thoroughly enjoyed both. We got to feed several big cats, hyenas, and so on but the highlight was patting Echo the rhino. I'm South African and have never beem so close to an adult rhino. Abby, our guide, was amazing. If you're doing the experiences, book them back to back for 20% off.

Experiencia positiva: Canberra Zoo & Aquarium was a great day out! Lots of animals up close, friendly staff, and a relaxed vibe. The aquarium’s small but cool. Perfect for families or an easy weekend adventure. Only negetive i would say, its a bit expensive and require a bit modernisation.

Experiencia fantástica: It was great I went with my youngest daughter and she loved it ❤️ I was lucky enough to hear the male African lion do this weird bellowing noise over and over it was very surreal it almost sounded like it was coming out of speakers you also have the option to pay for over night packages where you can sleep with lions,cheetahs and other animals right at your bedroom windows it's amazing you actually can also eat dinner and have the animals come up to you hand feed the wild animals its obviously not cheap but worth it also there is a baby lion I believe it's a girl if I remember so all round great experience for the family or even you and the Mrs

Experiencia positiva: This large zoo and aquarium is popular with ACT folk and tourists. It is located on 25 hectares of land and near Canberra. It is privately owned and hence entry fees are on the higher side. It is nevertheless a good place to visit and we found that the guide map with numbered exhibits was particularly useful as you may miss out on an exhibit otherwise. Fair bit of walking around though some spots are under shade. The terrain can be uneven. Wear comfy shoes, take water, wear hat, sunscreen. Toilets available. Cafes and restaurants available around the zoo. Lovely place for picnic. Parking is easy and plentiful though can be crowded at peak times. Best to go there early to avoid the heat and crowds. The aquarium has nice exhibits too and it popular with children. Great place for photography. Takes about 2 to 3 hours overall to visit

Experiencia negativa: Very expensive for the value. The aquarium held a few fish, that was all. The map is incredibly confusing and inaccurate. Several displays featured animals that seemed distressed, rocking, pacing, hiding. All in all not a good experience

Experiencia negativa: I don’t like this zoo. We came all the way from Melbourne and I have enjoyed nearly every zoo I’ve seen so far, but this one, just couldn’t get motivated to walk around, don’t bother coming! The staff in the gift shop/cafe/entry aren’t friendly at all. And the zoo itself is annoying, all their enclosures are behind huge barriers so you can’t see or get photos as the actual enclosures are either wire, mesh, or glass that you can’t see through due to all the reflections. We saw the full aquarium. It was rather disappointing, the animals there are cute but some seem as if they aren’t cared for properly and a lot of the fish they advertise aren’t there, such as the humphead wrasse. I got a bit sick just of coincidence or maybe exhaustion as it was a bit hot and this is a really big zoo, so haven’t seen the whole thing. But it seems like it would have been a waste of time and effort to walk around such a huge zoo just to see nothing anyway. I’d never visit again. And I don’t recommended it. P.S entry fee is so expensive. Asked for a refund due to not enjoying it and feeling sick, they won’t even consider it and seemed rather disgusted. Save your money and go see something nicer.

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 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.

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 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.

National Zoo & Aquarium

Hi Mikhail Thanks for being concerned and taking the time to raise these worries with us. Otay the sun bear was rescued in Cambodia by Mary Hutton, the founder of Free the Bears, who have rescued over 1,000 bears in Asia. Otay was a cub whose mother was used in the restaurant trade, while she was kept in a tiny cage for 2 years until she was big enough to meet the same horrible fate. The cage was so small that the only possible movement for Otay was to sway back and forth. After rescuing her, Mary asked if we could take her. When she arrived, she swayed or paced for 85% of the time, even though for the first time in her life, she had lots of room to move. We managed to get Otay out of this routine by giving her plenty of enrichment activities and introducing her to Arataki, an incredibly good looking and virile male sun bear! Occasionally she still will sway or pace for short periods, but for most of the time she walks around her enclosures, climbs the various structures, interacts with Arataki or her keepers or plays/explores her enrichment challenges. We are sorry that you missed seeing our signs that detail her story and that you didn’t see all her climbing structures that are scattered throughout the 2 large habitats that she has access to at the zoo. The trees are blocked from climbing as the 2 sun bears would totally strip them bare in days and they would lose the natural shade and vegetation that they provide, so we have built various climbing structures throughout their area – we are unsure how you didn’t see them as they are very large. Otay and Arataki bred a beautiful cub that we named Mary, who is now at Taronga Zoo. Otay has led a full and happy life at the zoo for 20 years and rather than being a sad story, it is an incredibly happy story after a tragic start to her life. You can help rescue other bears in Asia by contributing money, like we still do, to Free the Bears as below. https://freethebears.org/products/donate In regards to the tiger, if it was pacing it was probably mealtime – they can tend to pace for a little while when their body-clocks let them know that it’s time to eat! The only time we have seen one of our tigers rub its face against the wire is when it is being affectionate towards a keeper and wants a scratch. Thanks again for being concerned for our beautiful girl and our tigers!

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 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.

Debbie Smethurst 5 months ago

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.

Michael Crawley 5 months ago

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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 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: 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.
