A Trip To The Unzoo (With Printable!)


Are you in Hobart and looking for some good family fun?  If so, read on.  If not, skip to the end of the post for a video of some cute (and not-so-cute) Tasmanian animals! 

The Unzoo in Taranna (formerly the Devil Park) is a doable day trip from Hobart.

In order to get the most out of the Unzoo I have made up a brochure where your kids can tick off 6 animals as they see them.  You can get it free here on TPT, or by clicking on the images below.

This helps children identify the different external features of living things (Year 1, Australian Curriculum).


We enjoyed watching the devils being fed using a new bungee system.


The kids loved feeding the kangaroos.



An absolute highlight of the day was the bird show - don't miss it and bring a coin for a fun surprise!


We took a peaceful walk to the lagoon and played Yahzee on a picnic bench.

We highly recommend a trip to the Unzoo as a FUN family adventure and learning opportunity!

You might prefer to stay overnight on the Tasman Peninsula and enjoy some of the other local attractions, like Sommers Beach (a great family beach) or the Lavender Farm.

Here's a vlog of our day, with lots of footage of Tasmanian Devils for our overseas friends:


We visit the Unzoo on a regular basis and it has given us an immense love for the amazing animals and plants on our planet.

Please let us know in the comments if you use our printable!!
