Perth Zoo is located at 20 Labouchere Road, South Perth.

Perth Zoo supports Travelsmart methods of travelling in Western Australia. The Zoo is situated just a few kilometres from the CBD which makes a journey by public transport or bicycle pleasant and easy.

Australia Day Parking
Parking is at a premium in South Perth on Australia Day. Rotary Clubs coordinate all car parks in the area and parking is by a $10 donation. Free street parking is available to those who come early but why not take advantage of the extra public transport that has been provided for this special day. Information on public transport can be obtained from the Transperth web site www.transperth.wa.gov.au.

By Train

Effective 23 December 2007: Currently, the easiest way to visit Perth Zoo by train is to transfer at the Esplanade Busport (Train Platform 1) to Bus 31 (Bus Stand E4) which makes Perth Zoo one of its first stops. The bus stops right out front of the ticket office. The reverse applies when you want to go home.
