you can purchase a card for Adelaide zoo. or Monarto zoo each or a 2 zoo pass which is cheaper than buying 2 separate zoo passes. I always say go first thing in the morning as it takes time to get all around the Adelaide zoo. wear good comfortable shoes. spring is the best time of year to go for our weather but if going in summer definitely in the morning for your own comfort and the animals as well.

No you can’t. You must enter from the Plane Tree Drive entrance where there are car parks.

Yes, absolutely!

I'm sorry I am unsure . Best thing to do is probably ring or email the zoo itself. They have contact details on their website .

No you can’t pet any of the animals at the zoo. I don’t think I’d want to anyway!

No extra charge but signage is not real good so keep checking your map.

No you do not need to book sorry just answering

We parked on the street which I think was 4 hours. Not very expensive. We got there just on opening times to avoid the crowds and the heat so there was heaps of parking available. And just a few minutes walk.

Hi. I would allow about 5-6 hours. There is a lot to see and some of the animals get more active as the day goes by so they can be worth a second look. There are also animal feeding and keeper talks throughout the day so you might want to factor that into how much time you allow. You should also allow time for lunch at one of the lovely cafes

Sorry, we were at Adelaide Zoo not Melbourne Zoo - but i believe the Gorilla encounter is wonderful
