You are welcome to walk around Central Coast Zoo and Amazement Farm & Fun Park before and after your encounter. Due to the growing Zoo, not all areas are open to public yet. However our 'Fantastic Forests', 'Terrific Trails' and 'Savannah Sanctuary' is open for your viewing.

Depending on which encounter is booked. Encounters where exhibits are on public display are open for viewing from all. Family and friends are welcome to view from the outside of the enclosure. However, not all exhibits where encounters take place are on display and due to safety regulations only people participating in the encounters may enter the area.

With all of our experiences we have age limits as well as requirements for supervising adults for children under 16 years. This is due to the unpredictability of animals and children and is a safety issue.
