An easy busy ride from downtown, brought us to an extensive and well-laid out zoo, easy to follow the trails and take in all the exhibits. The animals looked to be well-cared for. Highlights for us…Full review by jonfF6639NX

Hi, animal encounters can only be booked on the day. I believe it’s a first come, first served basis. The animal talks and shows run every half an hour or so, you can collect a map on your way in which shows all the times on there. If you want to see the seal show I suggest lining up half an hour before the show so you don’t miss out as there’s limited seating.

Hey mate, The shows had been reduced in capacity for sure however some shows had been reduced to only a couple of times a day. As a whole, it was super easy to get around with the reduced visitors and without overseas travelers it was pretty quiet. But the covid compliance measures are super. Marked distancing & hand sanitizer stations every second step. Feel really sorry for the staff but they are doing their best to keep in high spirits. Certainly worth a trip out as you’ll never have it so quiet again.
