No plans for this Fathers Day yet?
Don’t stress, Perth Zoo has you covered.
This Father’s Day, Sunday, September 6, all dads will get free entry to Perth Zoo.
No tickets will need to be purchased for dads at the gate or online. Simply rock up and dad gets in free of charge.
Perth Zoo is home to more than 1300 animals, including several native and exotic animal dads.
In the African Savannah, southern white rhinoceros Memphis can be found grazing alongside his teenage son, Bakari.
Goodfellow’s tree kangaroo Huli is one of the zoo’s most celebrated fathers, with five descendants now living around the world, including daughter Muku in Perth.
Behind the scenes, western ground parrot Golambiddee has also played an important role in conservation, siring the world’s first western ground parrot chick to successfully hatch and leave the nest.
Environment Minister Matthew Swinbourn said the initiative encourages families to enjoy a special day together exploring one of the State’s most loved attractions.
“Whether you’re visiting your favourite animals or discovering something new, Perth Zoo has something for everyone,” he said.
“Providing free entry is a further opportunity for us to say thanks to all the dads and parents for introducing their children to the world of wildlife and helping to instil a passion for conservation in the next generation.”
Perth Zoo is opened everyday from 9am-5pm.
