Perth Zoo is a great day out with over a thousand different animals to see, a fabulous play area and special attractions and events throughout the year. If you plan your day ahead you can book one of the many Close Encounters which will get you up close and personal with the animal of your choice from otters and penguins to giraffes, orang utangs, elephants and more. Bookings for Close Encounters may be made on the day but are subject to availability so it's best to book in
