Western Plains Zoo (Visit this link)


Western Plains Zoo is an open-range zoo located in Dubbo in Central Western NSW. This world class zoo has approximately 350 hectares of public areas and over 1000 animals on exhibit.

Western Plains Zoo is traversed by 7km of sealed roads and 6km of bushland walking tracks. Visitors can circuit the Zoo on foot, car, coach or bicycle. Picnic areas enjoy extensive views across the lakes which are resident to many aquatic birds and primates at home on the islands.

See, hear and smell wildlife at Western Plains Zoo. The Education Officer at the Zoo can offer people of all ages a wildly different learning experience, allowing them to come face to face with live animals. Close contact with animals such as wallabies, kangaroos, echidnas, hoofed stock and meerkats can be found in the Children’s Zoo along with a large, walk through aviary.

Learning about animals and plants in their environments builds awareness and develops understanding and positive attitudes.

A visit to Western Plains Zoo gives young and old alike the skills and enthusiasm to actively participate in the care and conservation of flora and fauna in their own communities.
