Perth Zoo
A century-old zoo on the south bank of the Swan River, where you can get close to kangaroos, koalas, Tasmanian devils, and other Australian animals.
Perth Zoo opened in 1898 in South Perth and houses about a thousand animals. In the Australian Walkabout area, you can get close to kangaroos and emus on open lawns. You can also see koalas, Tasmanian devils, quokkas, and many Australian birds. Other zones include an African savanna and an Asian rainforest area with orangutans and Sumatran tigers. Adult admission is about 40 AUD. The most fun way to get there is to take the ferry from Elizabeth Quay to the Mends Street jetty in South Perth, then walk about 10 minutes.
