Hobart Zoo, Zoo in Battery Point and Queens Domain, Australia
The Hobart Zoo incorporated various animal enclosures across two locations, featuring native Tasmanian species alongside international wildlife such as lions, tigers, and polar bears.
After its establishment in 1895 at Battery Point, the zoo relocated to Queens Domain in 1923, continuing operations until financial difficulties led to closure in 1937.
The facility maintained breeding programs for Tasmanian devils and contributed to scientific research, changing public perception of native Australian animals through educational programs.
Visitors can now explore the remaining structures at the Queens Domain site through guided tours, which require advance reservations and careful navigation of uneven surfaces.
The last known thylacine in captivity resided at this zoo until its death in 1936, marking a significant moment in Australian natural history.
