    Some animals are sleeping during the day or winter, so it’s quite depends on the seasons and the weather if you are going to have a good day in the zoo, I am lucky that I saw lots of animals that I have never seen before, very happy about it. No issues with the pre booked ticket at all.

    Had an awesome time at Monarto Safari Park! It’s such a cool place — way bigger than I expected, and you really feel like you're on a mini African safari. We saw lions, giraffes, rhinos, Chimpanzees and more, all roaming around in huge open spaces. The shuttle bus was super easy to hop on and off, and the guides were friendly and full of interesting facts. It’s a great spot for families or just a fun day out. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're anywhere near Adelaide
