Spend a full day at Taronga Western Plains Zoo, one of Australia’s leading open-range zoos. Encounter a diverse range of animals including giraffes, cheetahs, kangaroos and meerkats across expansive, open habitats. Choose how you explore with options including bikes, electric carts, and the new pedal boats, or take the Zoo circuit at your own pace on foot or by car. Enhance your visit with up-close animal encounters, behind-the-scenes tours and keeper talks, or experience the Platypus Rescue HQ, Wildlife Hospital and the guided Savannah Safari for a truly memorable wildlife adventure. Around lunchtime, enjoy lunch at the Waterhole Café, overlooking the Meerkat enclosure, before continuing your Zoo experience.

Enjoy the convenience and variety of dining at Dubbo RSL Memorial Club, with options to suit every appetite and occasion. Settle in for a relaxed meal at Sunset Bistro, enjoy a pizza alongside classic favourites, cool off with something sweet from the gelato bar, or stop by Poppies Coffee Shop for coffee and light bites. For a more refined evening, One 7 Eight Restaurant offers a contemporary fine-dining experience showcasing seasonal flavours. It’s an easy, all-in-one dining destination after a long day of exploring Dubbo.
