PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE ZOO PROPERTY IS ALSO A SANCTUARY WITH FREE ROAMING NATIVE WILDLIFE.

PLEASE DO NOT APPROACH OR DISTURB ANY BIRDS, REPTILES OR MAMMALS THAT YOU MAY SEE IN THE GROUNDS.

VISITORS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO BRING THEIR OWN ANIMALS INTO THE ZOO.

We are open every day, even on long weekends and public holidays [except Christmas Day], at normal hours and prices and with our usual program of free talks and photo ops.

We also have daily paid personal animal encounters with a variety of our wonderful wildlife.  Some of these sell out very quickly so it is advisable to book online in advance.

We are always working to support endangered and vulnerable animals. All donations above $2 are tax – deductible as the government has approved the Darling Downs Zoo Species Preservation Fund as a charity in recognition of the work that we do preserving wildlife.
