Shoalhaven Zoo

Shoalhaven Zoo is a privately owned wildlife park located at North Nowra in the City of Shoalhaven, New South Wales, on the banks of the Shoalhaven River. Established in the 1970s, it houses over 100 species of native Australian and exotic animals including lions, meerkats, primates, reptiles and birds. It is notable as the largest zoo on the NSW South Coast and focuses on conservation, education and interactive animal encounters.

Visitors can expect a compact, bushland zoo set on a hillside above the Shoalhaven River with shaded walkways, enclosures and open lawns. Areas to explore include Australian native precincts, exotic carnivore enclosures, primate islands, reptile house and aviaries. Visitors can see animals at close range, attend keeper talks and feeding presentations, book close-up encounters, and use picnic areas, a cafe and gift shop within the grounds.
