Hobart Zoo and Aquarium
Hobart Zoo and Aquarium is a privately owned zoological park located in Richmond, Tasmania, outside of Hobart. It was established in 1999 as Zoodoo Wildlife Park, initially focusing on native rescued and orphaned wildlife species. Over time, the zoo expanded its collection to include exotic animals such as African lions, neotropical monkeys, zebras, camels, porcupines and several others. In March 2020, the zoo became accredited by the Zoo Aquarium Association of Australasia and is assessed annually.
The zoo was listed for sale through Finn Business Sales with an asking price of $3,750,000. In September 2024, The Mercury reported that Stuart Webster had taken over the Tasmanian zoo.
In May 2025, the zoo changed its name from Zoodoo Wildlife Park to Hobart Zoo & Aquarium. 300 acres of land behind the facility has been turned into a protected area for threatened native vegetation as an ecology contribution initiative by the zoo's management.
