The Lair, Animal exhibit in Gold Coast, Australia.
The Lair is an animal exhibit at Gold Coast located within the Dreamworld theme park, showcasing white lions and other exotic species. The building uses thick glass panels to allow safe viewing from multiple vantage points.
The exhibit opened in April 2011 at Dreamworld theme park, beginning with two white lions from a major zoo. The facility was later expanded to include additional large cats, bringing more variety to the space.
The interior recreates the look of a South African landscape, helping visitors understand the natural setting of white lions. This design choice creates a direct connection between the animal and its native habitat.
Visitors can use a second-story platform to feed animals under the supervision of zoo staff. The glass structure of the enclosure provides clear views no matter where you stand.
Large wildcats from another section of the park were added later, giving visitors the chance to see multiple species in one spot. This made it an important gathering place for big cat enthusiasts at the park.
