Wildlife HQ

Have you been to Wildlife HQ on the Sunshine Coast? Situated in the vicinity of the Big Pineapple, this zoo features over 250 Australian and exotic animals. For those who remember Alma Park Zoo before it closed, this is where many of their animals were relocated to.

Wildlife HQ is laid out in sections based on the animal origins. These are - the African Plains, South American Trail, Asian Rainforest and Lemur Island. There is also the Reptile House, Nocturnal House, and Australian animal sections.

Lots of teeny tiny monkeys from Alma Park Zoo

The zoo is open daily from 9am to 4pm (last entry at 3pm) and it is a good idea to plan to get there as early as possible. Although the zoo size is very manageable to cover within that 3-4pm time frame, there are special feeding and presentation times that occur earlier in the day that you won’t want to miss.
