Western Plains Plains Zoo
–
A Safari Around the World:
 |
 |
Located just four kilometres from
the heart of Dubbo, Western Plains Zoo is truly the premier
tourist attraction in regional Australia. |
 |
With more than 300 hectares of
bushland, the zoo is home to over 1500 animals from all over the
world. |
 |
The open range design provides a
great setting for your zoo adventure. |
 |
You can travel along the six
kilometre world safari circuit in the comfort of your own car,
walking or by electric cart or bike, both of which can be hired at
the zoo. |
 |
A
behind-the-scenes ‘Early Morning Walk’ is a fantastic way to get
close to some of the Zoo’s most exotic animals. These weekend
tours are conducted by trained Zoo Friend volunteers. During the
school holidays the tours are also conducted on Wednesdays and
Fridays.
