Australia Zoo - Australia's most iconic zoo!

Book Australia Zoo Tickets & Passes!

Located on the Sunshine Coast near the scenic Beerwah and Glass House Mountains, Australia Zoo is one of the most iconic zoos in Australia.

Renowned for the wildlife legacy begun by Steve Irwin and his documentary series The Crocodile Hunter, the zoo is carried on by his wife Terri Irwin and children Bindi and Robert.

Opened by Steve Irwin’s parents in 1970, the zoo has gradually grown over the years with major expansion occurring as the funds from The Crocodile Hunter series were put into building new habitats and exhibits.

Australia Zoo won the Australian Tourism Award for Major Tourist Attraction in 2003 & 2004, got the silver in 2013, and won the Queensland Tourism Award in 2012 for the same category.

The Crocoseum

Crocoseum Croc feedingLearn all about the underwater habits of these prehistoric reptiles as they lurk below the clear water for all the audience to see. In the wild Crocodiles camouflage in murky water, making it difficult to see just how close they really are. But in the crocoseum you can watch them silently stalk then launch at their food with jaw snapping verocity.

The zoo’s keepers put on an amazing Wildlife Warriors show here every day. You’ll experience everthing that slithers, swoops, snaps and stomps.

Roo Heaven

Don’t just see the kangaroos, walk among them! In Roo Heaven you can walk beside, feed and pet one of Australia’s most iconic animals. The open enclosure is home to 4 different species of kangaroo, all of which are friendly enough for you to pet and pose for a great holiday photo with you.

Pat A Koala

In the Koala Walkthrough you can see and even pat one of the zoo’s cuddly koalas.

Roving Wildlife

One of the most exciting things about the Australia Zoo is you never know when a roving animal may pop up. Don’t fret, there aren’t tigers running around unchecked. The Wandering Wildlife Team are always on the move with koalas, wombats, possums, dingoes, lizards, pythons, baby alligators macaws, cockatoos and more. Keep your eye out and you’ll be able to get a photo with these remarkable creatures.

Wildlife Hospital

Steve IrwinThe Wildlife Hospital is open for walkthrough tours 4 times a day so visitors can see how our doctors care for sick and injured animals brought in by our volunteers.

This is the largest hospital of its kind in the world and even provides an animal rescue service. Some of the animal stories will touch your heart and you’ll leave the hospital with a much greater understanding of our Australian Wildlife and the troubles they face.

Tiger Temple

Resembling an ancient south east Asian temple, Tiger Temple is the perfect place for these big, majestic Sumatran Tigers to run around and swim.  The animal handlers provide the tigers with plenty of snack and toys to play with so they stay entertained while you watch their feline antics. You can even see the tigers swimming from an underwater viewing enclosure.

Africa

The African open range exhibit is about as wild as it gets – and it’s the only multi-species exhibit in Queensland. The African Safari Shuttle will take you of a tour where you’ll see Giraffe, Zebra and even a growing Rhino herd.
