Exploring Adelaide Zoo

The main attractions at Adelaide Zoo are the giant pandas, a rarity in most zoos and a treat for family visits. Eight hectares of landscaped botanic gardens house over 300 species, with 1,800 animals in total, including kangaroos, wallabies, and cute koala bears. A conservation ark and behind-the-scene tours complete the picture. You can get to Adelaide Zoo on foot from the city center, or by ferry along the Torrens River, and if you are here in October, National Zoo Month (Zootober) is a bonus.
