Lions At Bedtime And A Day At Monarto Safari Park

Monarto Zoo, located approximately 1-hour from Adelaide has celebrated a string of exciting births. Monarto Zoo proudly cares for one of the largest lion pride in the country and you can meet them up close! With you keeper, you can assist in calling the lions into their night quarters in a safe enclosure, feed them their evening meal through a feeding portal and hear them roar. But the carnivore fun doesn't stop there. You will also get to see Australia's largest Spotted Hyena clan.

Go on an interactive behind the scenes tour to meet Monarto Zoo's Lion Pride for Lions at Bedtime and enjoy a full day experience to hop on and hop off our Zu-Loop to explore what is one of the largest open-range zoos in the world spanning more than 1,500 hectares and is home to more than 50  species of exotic and native mammals, birds and reptiles.

The zoo is located 60 minutes (70 kilometres) from South Australia’s capital city Adelaide and is the gateway to the picturesque Murraylands region. Monarto Zoo offers a wide range of daily zoo keeper talks and supervised animal feeds that give guests the opportunity to interact with our friendly staff and learn about the zoo’s unique residents and their wide range of conservation programs.
