Adelaide Zoo

Frommer's Review

To be honest, if you've experienced the wonderful Melbourne Zoo, or even Taronga Zoo in Sydney, the Adelaide Zoo is probably not worth your while. But if this is your only chance to see a kangaroo in captivity, then plan a visit. Of course, other Australian animals live at the zoo, and the nicely landscaped gardens and lack of crowds make it a pleasant place for an entertaining stroll. The zoo houses the only pygmy blue-tongue lizard in captivity in Australia; the species was thought to be extinct since the 1940s, until a live specimen was discovered inside the belly of a dead snake. Allow 1 hour.
