History

The zoo was closed from 27 March to 9 June 2020 due to government restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia. As the zoo had large carnivores it had problems feeding them. It relied on bank loans and generous people to cover costs, and also set up a crowdfunding page to raise money. The zoo has since re-opened to the public.
On 6 July 2025, a woman was severely injured in the arm after being attacked by a lion at the zoo.
