Cairns Night Zoo

Experience a wonderful Aussie night out. Start with a typical Aussie barbecue of steak, sausages, seafood and dessert. After dinner, you will follow a guide by torchlight to meet the creatures of the night.

Pat a koala, watch owls hunting and possums climbing trees, and see crocodile eyes glowing in your torchlight. On clear nights learn about the stars: the Southern Cross, the Big Dipper and more.

Meet a 'swaggie' (an original Australian bushman) and his friend the kangaroo. Back at the entertainment area, enjoy complimentary beer or wine and join with a bush musician. Your guide will teach you some famous Aussie bush dances.
