Alexandra Park Zoo, Public zoo in Bundaberg, Australia
Description
Alexandra Park Zoo is a public facility in Bundaberg that displays native Australian species and endangered animals in enclosures modeled after their natural habitats. The spaces are designed to allow animals room to move and behave as they would in the wild.
History
The zoo was founded in 1911 and marked the start of environmental education in the Bundaberg region. These early beginnings show how long the place has worked toward wildlife protection and nature understanding.
Culture
The zoo works closely with schools and offers education programs that help visitors understand how animals live in nature. This teaching role makes it an important learning center for the region.
Practical
The zoo is open Wednesday through Sunday from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM, with extended hours during Queensland school holidays. Plan for several hours to see all the enclosures and walk the grounds, especially on warm days.
