Description:

Equally focused on conservation and education, the Cairns Tropical Zoo houses all kinds of native Australian and exotic species—all just waiting for an introduction. Stroll through their lush, 14-acre (6-ha) jungle landscapes and admire the largest wildlife collection in North Queensland.

From cockatoos and raptors to snake displays and Estuarine crocodiles, there's plenty of action happening within the zoo's enclosures. Swing by the koala colony—the largest in North Queensland— to peer over the sleeping bears as they catch up on their 18 to 21 hours of requisite shuteye, or watch them munch on eucalyptus leaves while they're awake.

A walk by the wallabies offers a unique up-close look at these macropods, while the wombat exhibit ensures an additional overload of cuteness. Say hello to the cheeky ring-tailed lemurs, tip-toe past the timid dingoes, and stop and ponder prickly short-beaked echidna.

Dedicated wildlife professionals are around a full day, presenting on topics ranging from feeding emus to discussing Aussie's often-misunderstood reptiles. Grab a seat at any live event while you venture through the zoo's native habitats and meet their local inhabitants. With events like “Crocodile Action!” and “More on Marsupials,” you’re in for a memorable show.
