Zoo Experiences
If you are looking for a zoo encounter experience you will have to deal directly with the zoo, due to the varying times during the day for encounters it’s not possible for a keeper to pick up from our shared gate. We are happy for you to stay with us but you will have to book directly with the zoo at www.hallsgapzoo.com.au/shop.
