It's good so long as you stay away from the food and tacky merchandise area.

Awesome place, , been there 2 times, and every time its better. Spotless and clean, and the animals are good.
Not cheap to get in, but the company I work for is a major sponsor so we get a few tickets now and then. I was really impressed. AC/DC |

My SO and son had a pic taken with the constrictor, had asked for it one size, when my SO went up to collect it from the counter, and some dude raced past to get his first. The lady behind the counter watched it but said nothing. He had ordered the larger pic, he got our size, we got his.
Yeah, I like the place.... |

I was on holidays a while back, and went to theme parks, whale watching, deep sea fishing, a heap of stuff, and my favourite thing was Australia Zoo. I could not believe how well maintained everything was, there was barely a leaf out of place, and all the animals looked happy to be there,
The staff were also all smiling, whatever they were doing. I thought the price was a little steep, but when you think there are over 500 employees there, and the amount of animals, it seemed like a quite appropriate price. They are also Sunny coasts largest employer if I remember correctly.

Went there couple years ago, i loved it and so did the missus and eldest. Gotta go again now so the new bub can experience it.
Barge, do they still let defence force members in for free and discount for their family? I was blown away by that when i got there, fantastic.

Yes go there for sure .I ve been there 2 times saw Steve both times,it is the cleanest, neatest, most well planed park in this country,the only place in australia that could compare in quality to american parks like disney world or busch gardens.

It's the best I've been to. Missus got to hold a Koala, so she was stoked!
Didn't get to see Steve, he was filming a show. Cheers Darran

Yeah i went there about 3 wks ago, i moved to QLD about 3mths ago. Its not bad, i loved the tigers they had a couple of handlers swimming with them it was awesome, they were only young too which was even better (the tigers that is). Everywhere you walk there are little lizards walking everywhere there was even some kind of making a nest on the foot path. It take a fair while as there is a lot of walking although you can use the shuttle thing
