I was a little skeptical when a friend recommended this but it ranks very high amongst all tours I have taken. The zookeeper selected the animals we would see and I saw some that I had never heard of before, A senior zookeeper took us through about 10 encounters (inside of actual exhibits or in closed areas) where we got to pet, hold and/or feed various animals, including koalas, kangaroos, echidnas, bilbies, feathertail gliders, etc. It was very entertaining and educational. In addition to myself there was one couple and their three children aged 6-11. After well over two hours we went back to have tea with Paul, the zookeeper. I would highly recommend this tour.

Really wonderful experience, I was amazed and surprised by how close we were able to get to the animals. Our guide (Jenny) couldn't have been better-- incredibly personable, knowledgeable, great w/ the animals and skilled w/ a camera, too! (She took some really nice pics for me, and knew how to quickly maneuver around the animals to get the best shots and angles). Very highly recommended.

We had a chance to tour New Zealand and Australia and this was probably our favorite experience. The small group size is awesome (it feels like a personal tour). Lots of information and up close and personal experiences with the animals. Great for families or individuals. Can't recommend this enough! Definitely a must do.

Great tour! Informative guide who knows alot about the zoo and the animals. Got upclose with the koalas and got to feed the kangaroos. Other encounters with smaller animals as well. Wish we got to see other like the wombats, wallabies etc. Also wish there was an opportunity to get professional photos done with the koalas. Never got to see "how the food was prepared" only where it was prepared. Never got a gift or "tea". Overall it was a great opportunity to see the animals.
