With a major focus on conservation and research, Perth Zoo is a wonderful place to check out over 1,800 animals from all over the world. Major exhibits include the African Savannah, where visitors embark on a journey full of giraffes, rhinos, hyenas and zebras; the Australian Bushwalk, at which guests can sniff the scent of eucalypts and listen to the call of the kookaburra and music of the didgeridoo; and the Asian Rainforest, which is home to orangutans, Asian elephants, monkeys and tigers. Other exhibits include the Australian Wetlands and Crocodile Exhibit, the Silvery Gibbon Exhibit and the Penguin Plunge. Groups of 12 or more people can get an in-depth animal encounter with the Behind the Scenes Tour and Keeper for a Day experiences.
The zoo has a wide range of locations, themes and menus available for conferences or functions of 25 to 350 people. Perth Zoo is open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM. Admission is AU$9.50 for children and AU$19 for adults. For more information: +61 8 9367 7988
