Australia Zoo on the Sunshine Coast

The Irwin family are internationally renowned for their love of all animals. Australia Zoo has encapsulated their passion and created a wonderful home for 100’s of species of wildlife as well as an educational conservation centre. Feed a kangaroo in Roo Heaven, check out the world-famous show at the Crocoseum, visit the tigers, then get the shuttle out to Africa and see giraffes run in the savannah. Be sure to check out the Wildlife Hospital when you’re there. You are welcome to bring your own lunch or enjoy reasonably priced food in the food court. It is accessible throughout for prams and wheelchairs, with special carriages on the shuttles provided.

ellaslist opinion: You can get an annual pass for $99 for adults and $59 for kids, which is great value if you think you'd like to take the family even twice in a year. And why wouldn't you?
