shoalhaven zoo印象

We spent the afternoon wandering the zoo. They don't have all the exhibits of larger zoos but the staff are really friendly and knowledgeable. We made it in time for the koala show which was really good. Unfortunately the heavens opened up before we made it right to the other end - but it was a blessing in disguise given the day was so hot!!

We spent the morning wandering the zoo with our visitors from Holland. We were lucky enough to be there on a quiet day and were the only ones at the wombat, koala and snake show which was great as we had a front row seat (we even got to nurse the baby wombats) Though they don't have all the exhibits of larger zoos, the staff are really friendly and knowledgeable and go out of their way to answer any questions. A great day out...

A very nice little zoo that is not too busy so you can get close to the animal enclosures without fighting crowds. The enclosures are well constructed for the best viewing and the animals all seem very happy to be seen and fed. We didn't do the tree adventure but would love to go back to give it a try.

I love this place and it gets better every time we visit.The staff are friendly, the shows are very informative and if your lucky to see a show with Trent you'll have a ball. He is funny, great with the kids and you can see how passionate he is about the animals and the environment. Lots of animals to touch and hold and the new jnr zoo keeper program is awesome. Its great to find a place where you can bring your own food with you and sit back on the edge of the river and just relax.Cant wait to go back again.

We brought our 16 month daughter here the other day (which was very hot). There's a decent amount of shade but some exhibits had little to none like the crocodiles and monkeys which are feature shows. It was great that she was able to pet and interact with some cute animals. We got a nice picture with a joey ($10 extra) which I think my wife enjoyed more for holding it!There's lots for older kids to do and they don't have to be constantly supervised if you want a break. The tree climbing adventure looked well worth the money for kids and adults alike.Some tips: The toilets are at the entrance so use them before you end up at the other end.Purchase a bag of feed on the way in if you want to feed some animals.There are BBQ facilities if you wantYou can refill water bottles at the tree climb adventure area.Monkeys and Lamas are cute!

It's a nice little stop and explore if you are in the area, obviously not as good as a bigger place, but it's great for kids, friendly staff and a nice lunch spot. Good place for stopover en route up north or down south. The animals are well cared for, a good variety, and there are some good photo ops. I can't say i remember a lot as we had many family issues to deal with and this was great to get the child away from various dilemmas, but she enjoyed her day and it was nice to stop and enjoy the moment.

If you're after lions and tigers and bears (oh my!), you will be disappointed in this zoo.There are some more 'exotic' animals such as the salt water crocodiles and the Capuchin monkeys (they're almost the size of pygmy marmosets), which will keep kids and families entertained more than your average local 'kangaroos and sheep' sort of place.This zoo has two main points of difference that will make you want to visit when you're in the area:1) The new Trees Adventure ropes/zipline courses (info is not on the zoo website, it's here: http://treesadventure.com.au/nowra-shoalhaven-park/). Plus there's a couple of walks you can do that start in the zoo, but there's no shortage of gorgeous walks you can do for free in the area, such as Ben's Walk.2) The local, hands-on friendly nature of the park. If you go on the weekend or during school holidays, there is a bit of a show and education lesson in addition to the regular feeding shows. The keepers bring out various animals - wombat, lizard, maybe half a dozen placid creatures in total - and as they're talked about, the audience around the enclosure can gently touch or hold whatever is being shown at the time.Sometimes on weekdays there is a smaller, shortened version of the demonstration in the koala enclosure. Snake, baby croc, baby wombat and such. If you're a local, it's worth the $35 annual pass just to support a local business and have an interesting setting for a coffee date every now and then.It does get a little humid and mosquito-crazy so close to the river in summer, so avoid the heat of the day and/or put on some repellant.One thing that does disappoint me a little is that I didn't see the cassowary in its enclosure the last time or two I went. I say only a little, because cassowaries are pretty scary. I am not at all disappointed that the emus didn't come near me in the area where you can walk around with the emus and kangaroos. There was a peacock that seemed angry that I was in his farm enclosure, but I think he's just heard about the time I accidentally scared (and was then set upon by) peacocks at another place.

I was not expecting much when taken here - but it was superb. The easiest and best way to understand and see Australian wildlife. This is the zoo where the keeper had his fingers bitten off by a saltwater crocodile six months ago (you can see it on YouTube). The talks were excellent and the staff clearly love their work and their animals. Its worth going to Nowra just to go to this zoo....highly recommended for families and indeed, anyone.

My son and I recieved vouchers for the Tree Tops Adventure at Nowra and it was brilliant, I'm 50 and my son 25 and we completed all the levels, we may wake up in the morning with a few sore muscles but worth every cent. Great value for money, great staff, great venue and we will do it again. Big thanks to Scott and the team. cheers Dennis & Jake

We visit my parents in Australia every few years and each time we come home , shoalhaven zoo is a must to return too. This is a brilliant family run zoo where you can touch, feed and have your photos with the animals. Our favourite part is the kangaroos and koalas . The shows are brilliant especially the crocodile feeding .Trent did a great job with all the animal shows. I highly recommend this zoo to anyone visiting the Nowra area. In my eyes this zoo is far better than taronga zoo in Sydney. Thanks for a great day out , see you again in a few years , I look forward to seeing the lions next visit
