Enjoying your visit

Feeding the animals

Our animals are fed a special diet to keep them healthy.
As human food can make animals very sick, we thank you in advance for not feeding the animals and keeping them safe.

Smoke Free Area

To reduce fire hazard and ensure the safety of animals and visitors, smoking is not permitted in the Zoo.

Pets

Please leave your pets at home to help keep our zoo animals safe. 

Playgrounds, BBQs and walks

The Zoo is located next to Alexandra Park, a shady space with picnic tables, barbecues and playground equipment. The park is also home to three colonial guns, relics from the 1880s acquired by the then Colonial Queensland Government as part of its defence strategy.

You can also enjoy a stroll from the zoo down to the river front and a walk along the fishing pier. If you have more time, traversing the Riverside Boardwalk along the Burnett River is also a great activity for the whole family. Just take the path from the zoo down to the river and follow the river bank. The walk is 3km one way and ends at the River Cruz Café where you can stop for refreshments. This shared path is suitable for prams, bikes, scooters and skates.

Opening hours

The Zoo is open Wednesday to Sunday 9.30am - 4.30pm outside of the Queensland school holidays. During the Queensland school holidays the Zoo is open every day. The Zoo is closed on ANZAC Day (Tuesday 25 April 2023) and Christmas Day (Monday 25 December 2023). Entry is free. Pets are not permitted in the zoo.
