Adelaide Zoo

Step away from the hustle and bustle of the city into Adelaide Zoo, just a short 15 minute walk from Rundle Mall.

Full of diversity, colour and unique things to see and do, Adelaide Zoo is the second oldest zoo in Australia and is home to more than 3,000 exotic and native animals over eight hectares of beautiful botanic surrounds.

Wang Wang and Funi are Adelaide Zoo's resident Giant Pandas, and the only Giant Pandas in the Southern Hemisphere. They're a major attraction of Adelaide Zoo, though not the only thing Adelaide Zoo can boast about — other major exhibits include the Immersion South East Asian Ranforest, Seal Bay, Australian Rainforest Wetlands walk-through aviary, Nocturnal House and the Reptile House.

Adelaide Zoo makes it easy to make a day of your visit, with playgrounds for kids of all ages, shady spots perfect for a packed picnic, a wide range of daily zoo keeper talks and animal feeds, a free walking tour, cafes, vending machines and more.

The South African War Memorial is a life-sized, 3.4 metre tall bronze statue of a mounted infantryman located on the corner of King William Street and North Terrace and is a memorial to all those who fought and fell in the Boer War (11 October 1899 – 31 May 1902).
