AI summary of 83 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the zoo itself, noting that the animals appear healthy and well cared for, the grounds are beautifully maintained and well designed, and the facility offers an impressive variety of wildlife. The tour's logistical efficiency stands out most prominently across reviews, with convenient hotel pick-up and drop-off, informative driver commentary, and strategic tips for navigating the zoo and timing visits to key attractions such as the wildlife hospital and animal shows. The most common caveat is that food and beverages at the zoo are expensive, and some travellers note that the legroom on the transport can be cramped, though these minor criticisms rarely diminish overall satisfaction with the experience.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
“Great way to run a zoo.”
Steve was our driver and guide, picked us up at 7.30 and had us back around 5, about 90 minutes each way. His tips for getting round the park were invaluable. We started at the animal hospital, then loved the koala nursery, feeding the kangaroos and seeing the giraffes, elephants and rhinos. Still one of the best zoos we've visited.
“A great day trip”
Steve was a great driver, with good commentary on the way up and a handy plan for seeing the whole zoo in one day.
“Brilliant day”
A great, informative day from pick-up to drop-off. On time, courteous and friendly, and I'd recommend it.
“Day at the zoo”
It wasn't quite what we expected but we still enjoyed ourselves. The zoo is beautiful and wasn't crowded, the hospital was really interesting, and you can see the whole place in a day.
“Craig, our awesome Croc Tours driver!”
Craig was a brilliant driver, safe and personable, with great commentary on Brisbane and spot-on tips for getting around the zoo. Pick-up, travel and drop-off were all easy and stress free, and I'd recommend the trip to anyone heading to Australia Zoo.
“A good day trip for solo traveller!”
A good day trip for a solo traveller. Steve was great and knew his stuff, pick-up and drop-off were easy and on time, and there was plenty of time at the zoo.
