We had a good time overall and took some lovely photos during our visit. The zoo was enjoyable to explore, and we appreciated the opportunity to see many of the animals and exhibits.nHowever, we were quite disappointed that many of the key animals, particularly the bears and orangutans, were not available to view, as they were among the main reasons for our visit. It would have been helpful if this had been communicated to visitors at the ticket counter before tickets were purchased.nWe were also a little saddened by the reptile area. From a visitor's perspective, some of the enclosures appeared quite small, and we felt concerned about the limited space available for the animals to move around.
Went twice in June 2025, we enjoyed it so much, just had to see Bopha and Jamaran the Sun Bears again! Especially when they were the last two Bears in Australia that we had not seen! So now we have completed my ambition to see every Sun Bear in Australia, and we ended up seeing every Bear! Very cool seeing them standing up and being feed. The volunteer lady at the Sun bears the second day was very kind and helpful by standing there with us both for an hour talking to us and waiting for them to show themselves. Service was very good. Sun Bear paw print we bought was very cool too. The tables around the zoo with skulls & fur was also cool. Cow, Duck & Bob enjoyed it too!
We visited the Perth Zoo yesterday and was pleasantly surprised by changes and improvements brought about. The lawned area with the eatery is such an improvement; this is really world class now.nThis was our first winter visit to the zoo and were really impressed by the number of animals we saw: painted dogs, rhinos, male and female lions; ghost bats being fed; the list goes on and on. The cooler weather kept the crowds at home and the quieter environment brought the animals out.nWe also spotted sculptures of animals throughout the zoo.nBest visit ever: four hours sped by imperceptibly.
We are members and so have the opportunity of visiting regularly.nnThe animals can be hit and miss which is totally fine as we understand zoos are an awareness and rehibilitation project. In saying as much the only animals we have yet to see is the porcuipine!nnWe do miss the elephants since their move and the tiger since his passing RIP Jaya. In their place there are anamatronic dinosaurs which is a request everytime we visit.nnThe staff are lovely, kind, helpful, approachable, and passionate about their work. So many staff have gone above and beyond to assist when needed.nnThe food and drinks are expensive but we often pack a picnic which can be eaten at many locations around the zoo. The facilities are a mix of older and newer builds but are mostly clean and regularly attended.nnThey do great summer events. We have attended their annual Zoo-lights, Sun downers in January, and Zoo Years Eve for some amazing family fun!
Such a lovely spot to spend a Tuesday afternoon. The Perth Zoo was nearly empty — except for all the fluffy, adorable animals, of course.nnEven though the heat was pretty intense outside, once you're inside the zoo, most of the paths are shaded by trees and bushes, so it actually felt quite pleasant. I really appreciated how the staff take care of the animals — you can tell they treat them like family. The enclosure designs and shelters were beautifully done too. I even found myself a little jealous that some of the animals can just reach out and pick fruit from the trees whenever they want!nnI also loved all the little playgrounds scattered throughout. The outdoor furniture fits perfectly with the overall theme — it all feels thoughtfully put together. Compared to a massive zoo like Sydney's, I actually found this one more enjoyable. It has a laidback vibe that makes it feel more like hanging out with friends or family than just rushing through exhibits.nnIt was fascinating to see so many animals from the southern hemisphere up close. You really get a sense of how diverse creatures can be — from the tiniest to the surprisingly massive. Definitely worth a visit.
