Darling Downs Zoo, Wildlife sanctuary in Toowoomba Region, Australia.
The Darling Downs Zoo spans multiple acres and houses over 100 species from Africa, South America, Southeast Asia, and Australia in naturalistic habitats.
Established in 1992, this Queensland animal sanctuary evolved into a conservation center, supporting endangered species through breeding programs and wildlife education.
The zoo functions as an educational resource, offering daily animal presentations and lectures about wildlife from different global regions.
Located two hours west of Brisbane, the zoo operates from 9 AM to 4 PM daily, with final entry at 3 PM, remaining closed on December 25.
The facility maintains a specialized habitat for Balu, a Komodo Dragon born in Prague Zoo, who arrived at Darling Downs in March 2020.
