Exploration Asia
The Exploration Asia Redevelopment project is officially underway! While there are some viewing impacts in the area, you can still visit many of your favourite species.
Due to significant construction activities in and around Exploration Asia, the zoo’s West Gate will remain closed for the 2025 season and is expected to remain closed until at least 2028/2029. This necessary step supports the safe movement of visitors while we undertake exciting improvements to animal habitats and visitor experiences.
Family-Friendly
Celebrate the festive season in style with Holiday Brunch! Join us for a cozy winter day exploring the zoo, preceded by a delicious Holiday Brunch. The best part? You’ll spend the day with family and friends – instead of being stuck in the kitchen!
