Adelaide Zoo

Explore our space at your own pace

Saturday 17 January 2026 | 8:00am – 9.30am

We are opening our gates early to ensure quieter and calmer surroundings for anyone who would benefit from experiencing Adelaide Zoo in a more relaxed environment including:

  • Reduced human noises on site
  • Reduced visitor capacity
  • A calmer, more relaxed atmosphere
  • Visitor Services staff have been trained in autism awareness

Relaxed Mornings will open at 8 am allowing 90 minutes to explore the zoo at your own pace before we open to the general public. You can enter from any time between 8 am and 9.30am and once within the zoo, you are welcome to stay as long as you wish.
