Things to Do at Perth Zoo
You can ride the zebra cars for a one hour guided tour of the zoo. This is a leisurely tour that only requires a few dollars and your undivided attention. If you prefer to walk, there is a guided walking tour for free everyday.
Feeding times are posted so you can watch the keepers feed the penguins, ghost bats, and koalas. The Perth Zoo also features special presentations given by the keepers who will explain different animals, how they live, what they eat, and how we can all help to keep them safe and secure in the wild. There are several question and answer talks given throughout the day so make sure to check the schedule to see which one interests you.
