Perth Zoo

Like many things about Perth, the zoo has lots of animals, but has the feeling of a small z. In all I spent approximately two hours walking through the zoo and was able to see all the displays.

Highlights of my visit included an elephant demonstration, which had two of the zoo's elephants doing various tricks and the kangaroo section, where the kanagroos are allowed to roam free within in a fenced area, including the pathways you walk along. This resulted in having an up close and personal encouter with a kangaroo that was trying to jump across the pathway located right behind me :)

There is also a rather large area of gorillas and basically all the native Aussie animals you want to see such as kangaroos, koalas, wombats, emus and lots and lots of birds.

The entrance fee for an adult is $19.00 and for $2 you can get a colour coded map, which I found useful when trying to get around.

I'd recommend going either on a cooler day (25 degrees or cooler) or to go early in the morning because it gets quite hot.

You can go to Perth Zoo for 18 dollars.

You can walk around the zoo for about 3 hours and you will see all Australian wildlife by doing a 'bushwalk'. You can also see the asian and african part of the zoo.
They have got different themes in the zoo: africa, asia, australia, south america, plants etc.

A nice place to go one time, especially with children. But also for adults a great place to go.

For only 18 dollars you will spend 3 hours walking around seeing different animals everytime.
They really made an effort to make a good house for the 1200 different typs of animals they host.
The made different walking tracks like the African Safari, the Asian jungle and the Australian bush walk.
They also have a big open area where you can bbq and spend some time resting your feet.
Take the ferry from the Barrack street jetty to South Perth and start your day out on the ferry over the swan river!
