The National Zoo & Aquarium is just five minutes from Canberra. To make the most of your zoo visit, check the schedule for daily Keeper activities and get an opportunity to see animals enjoy a treat and interact with the zoo keepers.

Do & See

Over half the area of the Australian Capital Territory, ACT, is a national park, with a well-developed and maintained network of walking trails through mountain ranges and sub-alpine forest. A spectacular way to see the city is to take a hot air balloon ride high over Lake Burley Griffin. The surrounding region is home to more than 30 wineries, historic townships, beautiful coastlines and the famous Snowy Mountains.
