Adelaide Zoo

One of Adelaide's favourite family attractions, the Zoo is home to Australia's only giant pandas – Fu Ni and Wang Wang – which, let's face it, is more than enough reason to visit. (Take our word for it, they're seriously cute). But if ogling cuddly, bamboo-eating mammals is a little too tame for you, then check out the ‘animal experiences’ on offer such as hand-feeding the Sumatran tigers and African lions, giving Brutus the Hippo his daily mouth check, or having breakfast with a Sun Bear. Our pick is the Wild Nights package ($380 for two), in which you and a mate (geddit?) can spend a night glamping on site in a comfortable tent before waking up to breakfast with the Zoo's super cute red pandas and a guided tour of Fu Ni and Wang Wang's exhibit.
