Lonely Planet review for National Zoo & Aquarium
Nestled behind Scrivener Dam is this wonderful zoo and aquarium, to which you should definitely devote a few hours. It has a roll call of fascinating animals, ranging from capuchins to sharks, and includes Australia's largest collection of big cats. Book ahead to cuddle a cheetah ($165) or take a tour behind the scenes to handfeed the lions and tigers and bears.
