4.7/5
_We***25I got up early today and left the hotel. I took the Glink bus to Broad Beach South Station, then transferred to bus number 700 directly to the zoo, arriving around 9:45. However, there was a minor hiccup before entering the zoo: one of the tickets I purchased through a certain platform wasn't issued, and it took a long time to resolve the issue. Note that certain platforms use QR codes, so issuance is slow, but you can use the fast lane. Later, I switched to using Ctrip, which issued tickets quickly, but forced me to queue through the regular lane. Upon ticket inspection, I discovered that the tickets issued that day were valid, while all the tickets from yesterday were invalid. I quickly contacted customer service, who eventually offered a one-for-one refund. However, after all this hassle, by the time I bought new tickets through Ctrip, it was almost 11 a.m., a delay of nearly an hour. Tickets purchased on-site cost 70 Australian dollars for adults and 50 Australian dollars for children. The zoo isn't very large, and there aren't any wild animals. It primarily displays Australian animals, with koalas and kangaroos being the most famous. You can touch the kangaroos up close, and their fur is incredibly soft. They're also quite docile, though I didn't see any mothers. The park's design is quite unique, like walking through the jungle. There's also a small train that provides a leisurely stroll. There's a lunch spot, featuring set meals like burgers and fries. There's a playground for younger children nearby, and across the street is an outdoor playground for older kids. However, I didn't see any capybaras during my tour.
