Welcome to Hobart Zoo & Aquarium
We’re excited to welcome you to our brand-new website! While a few sections are still being completed, we wanted to get it up and running so you can follow along as Hobart Zoo & Aquarium continues to grow and evolve.
At the heart of this project is Stuart Webster’s lifelong dream – to create the most beautiful zoo in the world. From a childhood passion to a decades-long mission, Stuart has brought together sustainability, nature, design, and care to reimagine what a modern zoo can be.
One of our proudest achievements so far is the opening of Tasmania’s largest aquarium – a breathtaking, all-weather experience that showcases the wonders of our local marine and freshwater ecosystems. Followed closely by our world class purpose-built Cotton Top Tamarin exhibit.
We invite you to explore the site, plan your visit, and watch as more of this incredible vision comes to life.

With five outdoor playgrounds featuring plenty of shade, plus our huge fully heated and air-conditioned indoor spaces including Tasmania’s largest aquarium, a massive indoor playground, café, and gift shop — there's something for everyone, no matter the weather!

Have fun helping out
We couldn’t do it without our valued volunteers. Every year, our volunteers generously contribute over 10,000 hours of service, becoming vital members of the zoo team.
Volunteering at Zoodoo is a wonderful opportunity to make a lasting contribution to our important wildlife conservation efforts while helping care for the zoo’s unique animal residents. Volunteers will also experience incredible moments, make new friends, and create lifelong memories.
