About Hobart Zoo & Aquarium
Hobart Zoo & Aquarium, formerly Zoodoo Zoo, sits on Middle Tea Tree Road in Tea Tree, looking down the Coal River Valley. The collection mixes Tasmanian devils, kangaroos, meerkats, capybaras, cotton-top tamarins and white lions with an indoor aquarium of local and tropical marine life. Guests can hand-feed kangaroos and farmyard animals, and a touch pool opens in the middle of each day. The aquarium, café and indoor playground keep a group going in poor weather. For children’s birthdays, the all-inclusive package covers 10 kids and 10 adults with 1.5 hours in a private party room beside the heated indoor playground. Each child gets a meal of chips, nuggets and a slushy, and you bring the cake. After the party room, guests stay on for the rest of the day with the outdoor play zones and the aquarium. Parties start at 10am or 1pm. Older groups can book keeper-led encounters such as meerkat mingles, capybara hand-feeding, snake handling and native animal meet-and-greets. Lions RAW is an hour behind the scenes with the big cats, and a 2.5-hour premium package for two pairs it with seven encounters. For bigger events, Devil Terraces is an undercover outdoor space next to the devil exhibits that takes 50 to 250 guests. It has three catering menus, prices include zoo entry and venue hire, and the zoo pitches it at Christmas parties, work functions, birthdays and family gatherings.
