Lonely Planet review for National Zoo and 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, including tigons (the unnatural result of breeding tiger-lion crosses in captivity, a practice thankfully discontinued). Heavily promoted are the additional tours where you can cuddle a cheetah ($150) or take a tour behind the scenes to handfeed a tiger, and much more.
