Situated nice and close to the Adelaide CBD (within walking distance). The Zoo makes for a fantastic family day out at one of Adelaide's most iconic locations. Alongside the River Torrens and amongst parklands.

The layout makes it easy to navigate around and reduces the walking between animal enclosures for the little ones and mobility impaired. It allows for easy coverage around the entirety of the venue in a couple of hours.

The guided Panda tour was really well done. Our our two young ones loved the early visit. Being able to see the Pandas  before the zoo opens and with no crowds made it an awesome experience. The Pandas were moving about and alert which was great. We also got to see a lot of other animals prior to the entry of the crowds.

A really nice variety of animals and a well structured area that promotes education of the wildlife on display as well as their natural habitats.

There is an awesome playground with elements all ages of kids, which conveniently has an undercover rest area for parents. It's also in close proximity to a kids focused section of the zoo where the little ones can get up close to some of our friendlier animals with the opportunity for the kids to feed some of them.

I do wish there was a dedicated car park in close proximity (similar to Taronga Zoo in Sydney). Parking options are street based and all timed/paid. I couldn't find any free parking anywhere close by.

There are two cafes on the premises with ample food and beverage options and plenty of seating.

The forced walk through of the Zoo shop on exit does encourage children to want to walk out with everything and challenges parents 🤣
