Monarto Zoo is the biggest open-range zoo in Australia, and indeed one of the largest in
the world, spanning more than 1,500 hectares and home to more than 50 species of exotic
and native mammals, birds and reptiles. You can actually fit every major zoo in Australia in
Monarto Zoo and still have land left over! Monarto Zoo is home to many of Africa’s most
impressive animals and also one of Australia’s largest lion prides and giraffe herds.
Monarto Zoo opened in 1983 as a breeding and pasture area. Since officially opening to
the public in October 1993, Monarto Zoo is now home to more than 500 animals roaming
in vistas as far as the eye can see. It’s an escape from the city that immerses visitors in a
natural safari-style setting.
