The Zoo also takes an active role in several breeding programs to save endangered species of Australian animals. Many volunteers work at Halls Gap Zoo to support and improve the Zoo.
Visitors are also allowed to get close to some animals and get involved in activities such as animal feeding. At certain times of the day, zoo keepers will also bring out various snakes for visitors to hold. Don’t be scared; these snakes are not venomous!
Special animal food may be purchased at the entry that can be fed to the deer, kangaroos, wallabies, goats, and Himalayan Tahr. Please note that feeding the animals is at your own risk. Hold the food with a flat hand below the animal’s eye level when feeding. Alternatively, place a small amount of feed on the ground,
Picnic and BBQ facilities are provided for your enjoyment within the playground area.
So if you are looking for a fun day out with the kids whilst visiting the Grampians region, the Halls Gap Zoo should sit atop your list.
what are the names of the baby dingoes
Hi Carter,
Looking at the Zoo’s Facebook page, the dingo puppies are named ‘Maliki’ and ‘Daku’.
It looks like you can book an encounter with them too.
Thanks

Hi Dorothy,
I have checked the Halls Gap Zoo website for both their tickets and gift vouchers, but I can’t see anything in the terms and conditions regarding expiry dates.
I would suggest giving them a call on (03) 5356 4668 to get some clarification.
Thanks

Can you feed the giraffes, if so how much does it cost please?
Hi Leanne,
You can feed the animals in the Zookeeper for a Day activity where you can spend the whole day discovering what a Zoo keeper does. Assist in daily exhibit maintenance, preparing animal diets or enrichment and feeding the animals. It is available every day and is suitable for those aged 13 years and over. It runs for 8 hours and the price is $250.00

Hi Kym,
There are heaps of things for kids to do at the Halls Gap Zoo. You can pat many of the animals, there are additional zoo encounters should you wish to purchase those, and there are some play areas for the kids near the picnic facilities.
Have a great day at the Halls Gap Zoo!
