Overview

Family groups sitting on the lawn, at a council workers' picnic. One lady under a sun shade, and others under a shelter. Two push chairs one with a small child in it are in the foreground.

Historical information

Perth Zoo officially opened its gates in South Perth on October 17, 1898. Established to acclimate exotic species and serve as a recreational and scientific hub, it has operated every single day since. Over the decades, it evolved from a stationary circus of entertainment into a renowned centre for wildlife conservation.
