Lion feeding is a great time to be at the Zoo (1.30pm weekends, public and school holidays). Most of our animals can be fed by hand or spade including deer, kangaroos, emu, camels and much more! Our animals can be fed by visitors at any time of day that we are open, and we give you a day pass so you can come and go as you like. You can also camp in the Zoo grounds with the animals - bookings neede

d for camping. Entry is $20 for adults and $12 for kids. Animal food for monkeys, deer, kangaroo etc is $2.50 per small bucket. We give you a day pass, with main animal feeding starting at the lions at 1.30 on holidays and weekends. New Years Eve feeding is 7pm with Zoo open until 10pm. Hope you have a chance to visit our wonderful animals.

Meerkats are naturally curious little explorers 👀🪵

A new log means plenty to investigate - from interesting scents and textures to tiny insects hidden inside the wood. You’ll often spot them scratching, digging, and carefully searching through every little crack and hollow as they explore something new 🐾

Our meerkats never miss the chance to inspect a fresh addition to their habitat.

Capuchin monkeys are incredibly intelligent and naturally love to forage, climb and investigate new things in their environment. Enrichment like this encourages natural behaviours while keeping them active, engaged and mentally stimulated throughout the day.

Golden brushtail possums are nocturnal, meaning they sleep for most of the day, but every now and then we’re lucky enough to see him out and about.
