Experience the ultimate zoofari at Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo! Whether you walk, drive or ride around the Zoo's five kilometre circuit on hired bikes or carts, there's so much to see and do. The Zoo is home to hundreds of rare and endangered animals including giraffes, rhinos, elephants and big cats. Daily keeper activities (included in zoo entry) and special tours deliver magical experiences you will never forget. Tickets are valid for two consecutive days, giving you ample time to experience all that is on offer. The Zoo's free access Savannah Visitor Plaza includes shop, playground and cafe overlooking Savannah Lake and Primate Island, home to Black-handed Spider Monkeys and Ring-tailed Lemurs. For the ultimate zoofari, experience African style Zoofari Lodge, self-contained Savannah Cabins, or go bush camping at Billabong Camp.
Fantastic day... they have adapted to covid with safety measures and QR codes to watch videos rather than live zoo keeper talks. Hired a golf buggy which was great - but you can only hire for 3 hours which only got us half way around. So after returning it ended up walking most of the zoo again anyway. Next time I would hire bikes instead - flat, easy to get around. Talk bottled water not many places to refill. Totally worth the trip!! Pleasantly surprised by Dubbo overall!

Old Dubbo Gaol is a state heritage listed must see. This remarkably complete and intact gaol operated for 119 years from 1847 to 1966 and is still nestled in the main street of Dubbo. This set of 19th and 20th century gaol buildings create a pocket in time, and the experiences within brings history to life. This regional gaol is representative of powerful, surprising and dark moments in Australian prison history. We house important collections such as the hangman's kit and gallows, and unforgettable experiences such as the dark cells and the bird's-eye view from the watchtower. With guided tours, night tours, and theatrical experiences on offer, the Old Dubbo Gaol is a rare piece of history open to explore.
Well worth a visit whilst in Dubbo, very interesting and gives the kids a real sense of what life would have been like in gaol.
