In the interest of public safety, the zoo will be closed today (Wednesday 28th August). As the wind is supposed to increase during the day, we have made the decision for our guests, animals and our staff.
Hoping to see everyone tomorrow!
If you had an animal encounter booked for today, we will be in contact to reschedule.
The weather is warming up, which means our reptiles are becoming more active.

🦌 Meet the majestic elk! 🦌 Halls Gap Zoo is home to 4 elk- 3 female and 1 male.
Did you know? Female elk, also known as cows, play a crucial role in the elk community. They are highly adaptable and can be found in various habitats across North America, from forests to open plains.
Unlike their male counterparts, female elk don’t have antlers. Instead, they are known for their agility and nurturing instincts, especially during calving season in the spring.
These amazing creatures are excellent foragers, feeding on grasses, sedges, and shrubs. Their keen senses help them detect predators like wolves and bears, allowing them to protect their calves and thrive in the wild.
