Taronga Western Plains Zoo, Conservation zoo in Dubbo, Australia
The 300-hectare facility features large open exhibits separated by hidden moats, creating natural spaces for over 1,000 animals from 40 different species.
The zoo opened in February 1977 to provide additional space for large animals that required more room than the existing Taronga Zoo in Sydney.
The Taronga Western Plains Zoo acknowledges the Wiradjuri people as traditional custodians of the land where the facility operates.
The zoo welcomes visitors every day of the year from 9 AM to 4 PM, offering online tickets with discounts and rentable bicycles for exploration.
Guests can stay overnight in Zoofari Lodge, Savannah Cabins, or Billabong Camp to experience the sounds and behaviors of wildlife after dark.
