G'day and welcome to Australia Zoo, home of The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin! Just one hour north of Brisbane, Australia Zoo offers a full day of wildlife adventure. Open since 1970 as Beerwah Reptile and Fauna Park, this unique zoological facility is home to over 1200 animals on nearly 100 acres of natural bushland. If you're in the area - you MUST visit Australia Zoo!
There is no other zoo like Australia Zoo! Through the love, passion, and devotion of both Steve and Terri Irwin, Australia Zoo is able to educate and share with you the magnificent, often threatened, or sometimes even threatening wildlife of the world. Bringing you up close and personal with some of the worlds most misunderstood and feared animals (as well as the cute and cuddliest), so that you can share and learn, appreciate and understand.
The daily demonstrations take on a whole new dimension when the keepers actually interact with the wildlife, from giant snakes to hungry crocodiles. Whether you would like to see the Otters catching their own fish, or meet them up close and personal, plan on spending the entire day to experience all the full-on action and adventure! You can even get cozy with some of our wandering wildlife as keepers introduce you to snakes, koalas, camels, tortoises, alligators, lizards and more!
Australia Zoo Exhibits:
The Crocoseum - see crocodiles in clear water ponds, in an action-packed show full of discovery and adventure
Tiger Temple - home to eleven majestic tigers (six Sumatrans, five Bengals), and four cheetah, the Tiger Temple provides an amazing opportunity for you to get up close with these critically endangered animals
The Steve Irwin Zoo is a great experience. The high-light for me was the Croc Show! The staff really knew their stuff and seemed to be enjoying it every bit as much as we were. The zoo was very clean and well maintained.

Australia Zoo was amazing! Parking was easy and close to venue entrance and the grounds of the zoo itself were beautiful. The staff members we came across on the day were informative and helpful,and I would recommend this experience as a great day out.

It was a wonderful experience for our family with a toddler who enjoyed himself lots! We were lucky to bump into Robert Irwin and got some photos taken just outside the Zoo's Hospital._br/_ Overall, fun and lots of animals._br/_ Minus point: Food selections very limited and don't taste great :

As a big fan of the Crocodile Hunter this was a trip of a lifetime. The zoo is so big with various shows on offer to last a whole day. The main show shows off the birds, snakes to the big build up for the crocodiles. There are different zones like Asia and Africa. You can have your photo with various animals with the koala and snake be the most popular on the day I went. The food is of great portions and will certainly keep you fed for going around the huge zoo. The staff are fun and friendly. It certainly met all my expectations and I had a real blast of a day.

Really good zoo. The enclosures are pretty large which is good to see and there are loads of shows and talks on throughout the day. Go to the show in the main arena that's on at around noon that was the best one in our opinion.

Fun time, and the croc show was fascinating.
Review by: E M B, United Kingdom, August 2008
Worth a visit; shows were very informative. However, I expected a greater variety of animals--the zoo mainly had those native to Australia. Maybe I should have expected this.

The zoo and how they teach conservation was excellent. Would go again for sure! Enjoyed petting the kangaroos and learning about the natural habitat of the various mammals and reptiles that were available for viewing.

Good day out, especially for the kids. If you have kids, bring them to the Australia Zoo to pet and meet the animals. Kangaroos, koalas, crocodiles, you name it. Highly recommended.

Simply put: this is a must.

We had a wonderful time, the coach was good. It would be easier if the pick-up was from the resorts though. Otherwise, overall, a great day out.

The zoo is very clean, and the staff is extremely helpful and interesting to listen to. The displays are well kept and the animals well kept. We look forward to returning often.

A great time was had by all! I was very impressed by the layout of the zoo. I am a grandfather of 20, and a great grandfather of 3. My 2.5 year old had a ball. We will be back again. I had a great time.

By purchasing the tickets before arriving, we could use the express lane to enter the zoo. This saved us time since we did not have to line up like everyone else.
