Cairns Tropical Zoo, on the Captain Cook Highway at Palm Cove - 20 minutes north of Cairns is six hectares of tropically landscaped zoo featuring a natural habitat displaying Australia's unique animals - plus some international tropical animals.
You have the opportunity to 'Cuddle a Koala' (extra cost applies and includes a top quality souvenir digital photograph). This is a great place to pat a crocodile, meet a dingo, stroke a snake, scratch a wombat, hand feed colourful parrots and meet rainforest birds, waterbirds and cassowaries. Hand feed a multitude of macropods (kangaroos and wallabies) including the pure white 'red' kangaroos. Plus visit the excellent reptile display.
The twice daily program, all included in your admission, comprises entertaining and educational presentations. Enjoy the only Snake Show that features the world's most toxic terrestrial snake; be amazed at the keeper 'hand feeding' giant saltwater crocodiles - a show described by many visitors as 'the best ever'! See Queensland's First Free Flight Bird Show featuring 'Thala' the sea eagle. Meet the only Red Pandas in Queensland and learn about them and other endangered species during the fascinating presentation.
