Adelaide Zoo

Adelaide Zoo is an iconic wildlife conservation charity and the second oldest zoo in Australia, opening its gates in 1883. Situated just a short walk from the city center, this lush urban oasis is home to more than 2,500 animals and 250 species of exotic and native mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish. It is famously the only place in the Southern Hemisphere where visitors can see Giant Pandas, Wang Wang and Fu Ni. The zoo is designed with a focus on immersive exhibits that reflect the natural habitats of the animals, such as the Immersion Longhouse for tigers and orangutans. Managed by the non-profit Royal Zoological Society of South Australia, the zoo plays a critical role in international breeding programs and conservation efforts. With its beautiful botanical setting and historic architecture, Adelaide Zoo offers a unique blend of heritage and modern animal husbandry, providing educational programs and unforgettable wildlife encounters for visitors of all ages.
