Excellent tour, although weeks later it is not as easy to recall and review. we loved the noon show with the trained birds and the crooks - very well done. Was very hot and humid the day we were there but did get a chance to pet Koalas, feed the Kangaroos, and see the tired Tasmanian Devil. Overall, a not to miss tour if you are in the Brisbane area.

Sadly it monsooned down for 2 hours when we first got there all the way through the Croc experience in the massive main stadium. This is a great Zoo with the usual walk through areas of Australian wildlife that you would expect. We stayed in Surfers Paradise which unfortunately made for an over 2 hour trip there and back. Maybe not quite the same Zoo since the great man has departed but still worth a visit.

Excellent zoo but would advise to take own food as the food hall only ok.

The bus pick up and exchange at bus terminal was a bit confusing and the bus ride to Zoo takes just over an hour but Chris the driver shared a lot of good information with us. The bus itself needed some repairs as the diesel smell was quite strong. We has 6 hours at the zoo to see the shows and animals. Loved the koala bears . It was raining all day so it wasn't busy. The zoo is worth going to.

The only zoo I have ever visited that rates right up there with Disney, but perhaps a step better, depends on your philosophy. There is a lot more interaction with the animals from their keepers, something Stever Irwin believed in. Co-existence between animals and humans, we were impressed.

Russell, our driver, was a great source of information about Australia Zoo and we benefitted from his practical advice.

alot of the reason for the 5 stars is the excellent driver we had on the way to the zoo. it was the start of a long weekend and as well as a n accident or road works on the Bruce highway the traffic was horrendous. we were think that most of our allocated time at the zoo would be spent sitting in traffic. thanks to the excellent local knowledge of our driver he was able to re-route us and we were only about 30mins late getting there. this still gave us plenty of time at the zoo to enjoy our day. Zoo is huge so lots of walking unless you use the free shuttle. we choose to walk as sometimes the time you take waiting for the shuttle you can walk there quicker. It was a Very Hot day so drink lots of water and there are water fountains located all around the zoo. The croc show and tiger display was well worth watching. Extrermely clean and tidy grounds and lots to look at. this was our 2nd visit but 1st since the new areas have opened. an enjoyable day

The ride to the zoo was quick and comfortable, although the pick up time from my hotel was a bit delayed because of a traffic accident that morning. Nonetheless, we got out of the transit center on time and the bus driver knowledgeably highlighted the zoo's attractions and gave us tips for navigating our time there on the ride up to Beerwah. Once we got there, we had 5 hours to explore the zoo and see everything there is to see. I skipped the Africa section -- my primary aim was to see all of the Australian animals we don't have in the US -- but 5 hours was more than enough time to take in a few shows, hold a koala, feed the kangaroos, and see all the other sections at a leisurely pace. Highly recommend! Great value, since price includes transportation as well as zoo admission.

Great day, picked up from my hotel and apart from the long trip to get there from the Gold Coast it was an absolutely fantastic day, especially Tiger Island.

The trip was lots of fun. We had some car issues which put us a little behind schedule and gave us less time at the zoo. I think we could have stayed there twice as long because the zoo is so big. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and we had a great time!

We really enjoyed our trip to Australia Zoo. The bus driver was particularly friendly and helpful and went out of his way to accommodate everyone. Whilst at the zoo we especially enjoyed the crocodile show and walking amongst the kangaroos to feed them. Definitely a lovely day out and worth the trip.

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Brisbane. The drive from Brisbane to the zoo was about an hour but it was a nice chance to see the countryside. And it certainly was well worth us not renting a car and driving ourselves. We found every single employee they're extremely helpful. Go to the website for the Australia zoo prior to your visit It is worth the time invested. I booked several animal encounters before our trip and was glad I did because Nother couple on our tour tried to book that day and everything for the most part was full. The cheetah in counter was an absolutely amazing experience and well worth the money. Also did the giraffe and zebra combo encounter was delightful as well a wonderful day at the zoo. Even for adults!
