Visit the Zoo
Australia’s best small zoo is just 5 minutes from the Perth CBD on the banks of the Swan River. Perth Zoo is open every day of the year - in fact it has not closed for a single day since it opened back in 1898. You will need at least half-a-day to see everything Perth Zoo has to offer but we recommend a full day to make the most of your visit.
