Dedicated presentations to delight and educate
With a dedicated presentation area, kids can see what it takes to develop trusting relationships with our animal friends, and how they can use these techniques to enrich the lives of their pets at home.
Goat rock climbing and two storey walkways
Our charismatic goats love getting up high and testing their fantastic balance skills, something that makes them incredibly well suited to their mountainous homes in the wild. By making sure the new play space features things like balance beams, seesaws, ladders or even trampolines, we’re making sure our goats are encouraged to think harder about navigating their environment, keeping them active and healthy and encouraging natural behaviours.
Swinging chickens!
Chickens are highly intelligent animals and you might have seen our brood making music with xylophones put there by their keepers. On top of making music, our cheeky chickens will also get enrichment out of a specially-designed chicken swing. These special birds will learn to operate the swing themselves and exercise their balance skills in the process.
Be the Face!
Step into our incredible new Variety Children’s Zoo and say “I supported this and my picture is here to prove it”.
If you were part of our ‘Be the Face’ campaign and uploaded a photo of your child, grandchild, loved one or pet you can soon see these lovely faces etched into Adelaide Zoo’s history for years to come!
