Established in 1980, Cairns Tropical Zoo is the largest and most diverse wildlife attraction in Tropical North Queensland and is set amidst six hectares of tropically landscaped gardens. Locally owned and operated, our zoo is home to hundreds of native and exotic species, many of which are indigenous to our northern wet tropics.
Cairns Tropical Zoo has broken the mould of traditional zoos by creating opportunities for you, the visitor, to interact with our animals. There are numerous opportunities during the day to get close, touch, feel and make some new animal friends. Our philosophy is that personal interaction with animals encourages a greater understanding of native wildlife and promotes the need to preserve their natural habitats.
Cairns Tropical Zoo is part of the Freeman Family owned and operated Wildlife Tropical North Queensland Group. Other wildlife experiences under this banner include Cairns Night Zoo, Kuranda Koala Gardens and Hartley's Crocodile Adventures.
We hope that our web site gives you a "sneak" preview of what Cairns Tropical Zoo has to offer our visitors. Please explore and enjoy our web site - we hope that it will encourage you to come visit us and join in a truly unique wildlife experience!
