Choosing an Animal Encounter

The region's wildlife option sits in the parklands on the CBD side, where Adelaide Zoo neighbours the Botanic Gardens and the River Torrens. Its packages scale from a birthday for 15 children to a private evening for thousands.

Matching the group to a package:

  • 15 or more children: a birthday party with a full zoo day
  • 50 to 250 guests: a Family Fun Day with a private area
  • 100 to 400 people: the Children's Zoo Playground Party in the evening
  • 800 to 3,000 guests: Twilight Zoo after hours
  • Any visit: add an animal encounter such as the giraffe feed

Packages begin from $34.50 per person and are quoted to suit the group.
