Part of the fun of a day at the zoo is getting there – taking the ferry across the Swan River from Barrack Street Jetty to Mends Street Jetty (every half-hour) and walking up the hill. Zones include Reptile Encounter, African Savannah (rhinos, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes and lions), Asian Rainforest (elephants, tigers, sun bears, orangutans) and Australian Bushwalk (kangaroos, emus, koalas, dingos). Another transport option is bus 30 or 31 from the Wellington St bus station or Esplanade train station.
