Wagga Zoo, Animal park in Turvey Park, Australia.
Description
Wagga Zoo is an animal park located within the Botanical Gardens where visitors can see native Australian animals and farm creatures in open areas. Kangaroos and wombats roam the grounds, and a walk-through bird aviary holds around 300 birds of various species.
History
The zoo began as a small animal collection within the Botanical Gardens of Wagga Wagga. Over the decades it grew and now houses both local species and animals from elsewhere.
Culture
The zoo helps visitors understand how native animals fit into the local environment and their role in the region. Educational stations throughout the grounds explain animal behaviour and habitat needs.
Practical
The park is open Thursday through Monday from 9 AM to 4 PM, with extended hours during school holidays. Free admission makes it accessible for regular visits and families on any budget.
Did you know?
The zoo features a colonial-style Budgerigar Aviary with a working windmill and water tower that visitors can see. These structures reflect building methods used in rural Australia generations ago.
