Choosing an Animal Encounter

Up at Tea Tree, on the rural edge of the Northern Suburbs & Derwent Valley, Hobart Zoo & Aquarium is the region's listed wildlife experience. It covers everything from a small child's birthday to a catered function for a few hundred, so the first decision is which format your group needs.

Matching the group to the zoo's options:

  • A child's birthday: the party room package for 10 kids and 10 adults, with the rest of the day free to explore.
  • Teenagers or adults: keeper-led encounters with meerkats, capybaras, snakes or native animals.
  • A special occasion for two: the 2.5-hour premium package including Lions RAW.
  • A work function or Christmas party: Devil Terraces for 50 to 250 guests.
  • Group pricing starts From $495 per group.

Why Tea Tree works for an animal-themed day

  • The collection runs from Tasmanian devils and kangaroos to white lions and cotton-top tamarins.
  • Fish and marine life, local and tropical, fill an indoor aquarium that gives a covered option.
  • Hand-feeding kangaroos and farmyard animals keeps younger guests busy.
  • The heated indoor playground sits beside the party room.

Planning around the zoo's timetable

  • Kids' parties run from either 10am or 1pm, so choose the slot first.
  • A touch pool is open around the middle of the day.
  • Devil Terraces has three catering menus to pick from.
  • Devil Terraces pricing already covers venue hire and zoo entry, which simplifies a work budget.
