My girlfriend and I spent a whole day here 2 weeks ago. So much to see, a full day really wasn't enough. We spent so much time getting on and off the buses, but this did help us view all the animals. We enjoyed a few drinks and a small meal in the cafe and purchased a couple of items from the gift shop.

Took our grandchildren of varying ages to Monarto Zoo yesterday. They enjoyed the experience of viewing the animals from the bus. However we were not confident to get off the bus at the different bus stops as buses were full and people could not get on the next bus to arrive and proceed further. Being school holidays it was very busy. Had a snack at the cafe and the playground and gift shop was fully explored. (costly)

We found the buses a little confusing, the map given didn't really match up to where to buses were picking up. Besides this, an enjoyable big day out.

This is one of the best experiences of Adelaide I was blessed enough to pat cheetahs it cost hundreds but was an unforgettable experience they purr happily like house cats. And yes I think it's better than Dubbo zoo cos there you have to drive yourself around and here you get taken around the courtesy bus and provided commentary. I'm lazy

This zoo is large and visitors can take a bus around the area and view various animals. This is an open plains zoo and the animals have large areas to roam. It is great that they have a sense of freedom. There are various walking tracks to enjoy too. Toilets, cafe and picnic areas too. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to all ages.

Giraffes are my spirit animal! A little while ago, I had my sister over with her youngest son for his school holidays. We took a trip out to monarto and had the most lovely day!
You ride around in a souped-up public transport-type bus, and hear lots of insightful things about the animals.

It's a little expensive (70ish including the bus trip). But it's one of those experiences kids won't forget.

Thanks for reminding me, it has been so many years since we visited Monarto Zoo.

Love this place. You can walk around and see the animal or take a bus tour, where there is a commentary of the animals. The best part was seeing the gorillas in their sleeping inside area and then some of the others out in their garden/ jungle area. Takes a while to get food during busy times especially when their is a tour bus or 2 in. But the food is nice

What a great zoo. The bus tours are very informative and a good way for kids to enjoy the animals you can also walk the many tracks around the zoo. Loved the gorilla enclosure :)

LOVE! this place, always friendly cheerful staff full of all sorts of information about the animals. Defiantly a place to go and take the kids. I can't wait till my little one is old enough to go. Food is yummy as here too.

I shaperoned my daughters class excursion here, And had an amazing time. The kids really enjoyed the day and the learning experience. So many animals, just like a mini safari. Staff organised a group picnics for the class which was great. Will definately go again with my other kids, its a learning experience that all kids should have. Being able to see animals roaming instead of caged up. Great place.

I did the double pass with the Adelaide zoo works out better value, I love the fact that the animals are out in the open and more free, the monkey enclosure they have here is amazing love love love it :-)
