About Adelaide Zoo
Adelaide Zoo sits in the parklands beside the Botanic Gardens and the River Torrens, with entry from Frome Road or Plane Tree Drive. It is run by a non-government conservation charity and is home to giant pandas, Sumatran tigers, giraffes, red pandas and orangutans. The zoo sells group packages for workplaces and social gatherings. A Family Fun Day suits 50 to 250 guests and includes all-day entry, private use of Nature's Playground or the Sir Thomas Elder Rotunda from 9.30am to 3pm and a 20-minute keeper presentation, with catering to add. Twilight Zoo events for 800 to 3,000 guests open the zoo after hours, with keeper talks, feeding sessions and the zoo shop. The Children's Zoo Playground Party takes 100 to 400 people for an evening in Nature's Playground and the kids' zoo, with animal experiences and an undercover area. It suits end-of-year gatherings where children are invited. Children's birthday parties need at least 15 kids and include a full day at the zoo. A tour guide can lead the party on a 90-minute private tour after 11.30am, and Panda Pack lunches cover a meal, a snack, fruit and a treat. Animal encounters such as the giraffe feed can be added to any visit. Packages are quoted on request.
