Description
The National Zoo and Aquarium is the only combined zoo and aquarium in Australia and is privately owned. It is located in Yarralumla at the western end of Lake Burley Griffin, next to Scrivener Dam in the Australian National Territory.
With their motto in mind – “To inspire and assist in the conservation of the natural world through innovative and exciting educational experiences” – the zoo developed a number of hands on animal experiences for visitors, one of the first Australian zoos to do so. In 2004 the NZA won a tourism award for the ZooVenture Tour.
The NZA is now one of the largest privately owned zoos in Australia and one of only 26 zoos that have been accredited out of the 52 zoos that are members of the Zoo and Aquarium association of Australia. It has the only inland aquarium exhibit in Australia.
It is also one of the major Tourist attractions in the ACT and region and with the recent opening of the new open range section in May 2017, has increased to 3 times its former size.
The NZA strives to house animals in comfortable surroundings. As such, most of the enclosure sizes are far larger than found in other urban zoos and animal husbandry and welfare are aimed at achieving world’s best practices.

The addition of Jamala Wildlife Lodge in December 2014 was a major step to bolster the programs run by the zoo. The aim is that the funds from Jamala will allow the zoo to continue to grow and support its breeding programs.
Jamala Wildlife Lodge offers you the opportunity to experience the thrill of close encounters with some of the world’s most dangerous and endangered animals, as well as relaxing in the unique atmosphere of its three individually designed five star Accommodation hubs; Giraffe Treehouses, Jungle Bungalows and the uShaka Lodge.
