Extremely over priced and minimal animals to see, no educational information at any of the enclosures, Nothing virtual for kids to interact with, missing basic animals to view, not even a reptile enclosure. NO ZEBRAS, NO GIRAFFES, NO ELEPHANTS, NO TIGERS NO RHINOS Unless you pay an extra $50 for the safari tour. It makes it very difficult when they have zebras and giraffes plastered everywhere to explain to the kids that they will not be seeing these animals. We saw a sad looking gorilla in a shambolic looking hut, a cheetah lying in the shade of a far distant solitary tree, and one lone African Wild dog. The only thing worth half a mention were some hippos that which were actually close enough to get a decent look. Not worth the price of a $50 and the 3 hour round trip. Disappointing to say the least with some very grumpy kids that didn’t get to see what they were expecting.
The Zoo was ok but Viator let a charge for 3children AUD77 go through when children entry is FREE. Unbeknown to me I should have booked thru the official zoo website not this third party VIATOR which google directed me to. What a ripoff VIATOR. It spoilt the day. I could have used this money to buy the grandchildren lunch at the Zoo.
Kiosk at Hippo Park is poorly staffed or severe undertrained, food option is very limited. And if after Beverage they will hand you a Non Recylapble Plastic cup, which not only is useless for children its lid falls of too easy, don't accept these cups!! Ask for PET bottled drinks.
