If you are looking for something fun, and maybe a little bit exotic, for children and adults during school holidays, the National Zoo and Aquarium is the place to go.
Canberra’s National Zoo and Aquarium is one of the major tourist attractions in the ACT and region.
It is unique as it features a combined aquarium, metropolitan zoo and an easily walked open-range section, which in 2017, more than doubled the size of the existing zoo.
This has not only proved to be popular with guests, but also allows the zoo to expand its work with critical breeding programs for endangered animals.
As well as featuring amazing animal enclosures, the National Zoo and Aquarium hosts themed landscapes including waterfalls, a vast fern gully and beautiful picnic and barbecue areas.
The new Adventure Land playground is due to open this summer, adding a whole new level of zoo fun. Are you looking for a unique and educational experience during school holidays for primary-aged children?
