Get up close and personal with two of the Zoo's big cats - the Sumatran Tiger or African Lion. Tour participants learn about each of these remarkable felines and the Zoo's comprehensive enrichment program while hand feeding them. Big Cat Encounters cost $59 per person in addition to Zoo admission. Both encounters last 20 minutes each.

Booking, payment and enquiries can be made on-site at the Information Centre or phone (02) 6881 1400. Note: Children under 7 years are not permitted on Tiger/Lion Encounters and an adult must accompany all children under the age of 15 years.
