Cairns Zoo & North Queensland Wildlife | Cairns International Hotel

Interact with hundreds of native and exotic species...

Established in 1980, Cairns Tropical Zoo is the largest and most diverse wildlife attraction in Tropical North Queensland and is set in tropically landscaped gardens. Locally owned and operated, the zoo is home to hundreds of native and exotic species including Queensland’s only Red Pandas and the largest colony of Ring Tailed Lemurs.

Cairns Tropical Zoo has broken the mould of traditional zoos by creating opportunities for you, the visitor, to interact with zoo animals. There are numerous opportunities during the day to get close, touch, feel and make some new animal friends including Koalas and Kangaroos. The zoo philosophy is that personal interaction with animals encourages a greater understanding of native wildlife and promotes the need to preserve their natural habitats.

Cairns Tropical Zoo is located at Palm Cove, only 20 minutes north of Cairns on the Captain Cook Highway or 35 minutes south of Port Douglas. Drive yourself, hire a car, take a bus or book a tour with Cairns International Hotel tour desk. Discover more...
