The Australia Zoo, known as the “Home of the Crocodile Hunter”, offers numerous exhibits that have been created to be captivating, informative, and exhilarating to every visiting guest. These exhibits are not only exciting for visitors, but they were also designed to be immensely plush, roomy, and invigorating for all of the animals.
The Australia Zoo's exhibits have been called works of art; they have been compared to five-star accommodations; they’ve even been considered marvels of architecture – all of which makes the Australia Zoo like no other zoo in Australia or even the world. All of the exhibits were designed or at least conceived of by Steve Irwin. One of the top exhibits developed by Steve Irwin is The Crocoseum, which is a place where visitors can see the crocodiles in clear water ponds. This gives guests a more vivid picture of how these fascinating creatures behave. The Tiger Temple was built to look like the Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia, and offers underwater viewing of cheetahs and tigers. Elephantasia is an Asian-themed exhibit and is the largest exhibit of its sort in Australia. The Elephantasia exhibit provides a pool, fountain, a giant statue of the Hindu elephant god Ganesh, gardens, shade, and toys for the elephants.
The Australia Zoo offers two itineraries for your day: Slithery Day Out and Furry Day Out. Slithery Day Out focuses on the elephants, crocodiles, snakes, echidnas, otters, and tortoises; the Furry Day Out itinerary focuses on the koalas, elephants, crocodiles, possums, wombats, dingoes, and otters.
