Australia Zoo on the Sunshine Coast

Beaches, restaurants, shopping, kangaroos, crocodiles – hang on! That doesn’t sound like your typical beach holiday – but if it’s at the Sunshine Coast, it sure is. One of the most popular Sunshine Coast attractions is the Australia Zoo in Queensland, situated in the picturesque area of Beerwah on the Glasshouse Mountains Tourist Drive.

The Zoo is a Sunshine Coast attraction that’s not to be missed. Where else can you see such a diverse range of animals and entertainment, all under an hour’s drive from Brisbane? Thrilling snake shows, Bishki the cheeky gorilla, tigers, and elephants are just some of the many animals on show at Australia Zoo.

Of course you can’t forget the one animal that makes the Zoo such a Sunshine Coast tourist attraction: the crocs! It’s crocodiles galore at the Zoo, where the late owner Steve Irwin has shown his love for the animal by dedicating a huge Animal Planet Crocoseum, just for the reptiles.

Along with the varied range of animals at the Zoo, there are also competitions, live entertainment, and celebrations on Easter and other holidays.

Sunshine Coast holidays promise a fun-filled time, which is what you’ll get if you extend your stay after visiting the Zoo. There is a wide range of Sunshine Coast accommodation, with options ranging from cheap and cheerful hotels to world-class luxury resorts. If you’re looking to stay near the zoo, Caloundra is the nearest busy township.

For a day out that takes you a short trip from the beach into the depths of an animal kingdom, look no further than Australia Zoo.
