A Wild Day Out at Zoodoo Zoo

Posted on July 16, 2025 | Leave a comment

We recently visited Zoodoo Zoo in Richmond, Tasmania – and what a fun day it was for the whole family, especially the kids! It’s a perfect mix of hands-on animal encounters, educational displays, and plenty of space to run around and explore.

🎟️ Tickets were very reasonably priced – around $37.50 per adult and $19.95 for children (under 2s go free), with family passes available too. You can buy your tickets online or at the gate.

📍 Located just a short drive from Hobart, Zoodoo is easy to get to and has free parking on site.

Our adventure began with the primates – we saw monkeys, lemurs, and colourful birds, which were a hit with the kids. After that, we made our way to the reptile area, which had a large collection of snakes. The walls were filled with informative displays that made it a great learning experience.

Next stop: the big cats! We saw the lions and the tiger – though they were having a little nap when we arrived. Still amazing to see them up close.

Then came one of the most exciting parts – feeding the ostrich! We bought a bag of animal food from the shop and were allowed to feed the ostrich and even some zebras, which the kids absolutely loved.

From there, we wandered over to the barnyard where we could feed and pat rabbits, a cow, and a sweet little pony. There was also a fun playground nearby where the kids had a quick run around before heading to the kangaroo area. This was easily one of the highlights – there were so many kangaroos and they weren’t shy at all. The kids had the best time feeding them and spending time up close with these gentle animals.

After that, we visited the sheep and then made our way to the aviary and Tasmanian devil enclosure. The Tasmanian devils were surprisingly cute, and we were lucky enough to catch one of the zookeeper talks – very informative and engaging!

We ended our visit at the maze – it’s a small one, but the kids had heaps of fun getting “lost” and running around.

Overall, Zoodoo Zoo was such a memorable experience – hands-on, well spaced out, and very kid-friendly. Highly recommend for a family day out if you’re in Tasmania.

A Day in Nature – Mt Field National Park and Russell Falls

Posted on July 12, 2025 | 1 comment

We took a beautiful day trip from Hobart to explore the scenic wonders of Mt Field National Park, and it turned out to be one of our most memorable adventures in Tasmania. The drive from Hobart took just under 1.5 hours, and it was a lovely and peaceful journey through the countryside.

When we arrived, we purchased our park entry ticket at the visitor centre and got a handy map with walking tracks clearly marked. The staff were really friendly and helpful, especially in pointing out what would be best for families with kids. The main walk to Russell Falls is easy and well maintained – perfect for prams and little legs.

The walk itself was stunning, surrounded by tall tree ferns, moss-covered trees, and the sound of birds all around. We took our time, soaking in the serenity, and the kids were happily pointing out different trees and trying to spot wildlife. When we finally reached Russell Falls, we were all in awe. The waterfall is absolutely beautiful – water cascading down over layered rocks, with mist gently rising as it hit the base. It felt like we were in the middle of a nature documentary.

We loved the spot so much that we stayed there for a while, just enjoying the view and taking photos. From there, we decided to continue on to Horseshoe Falls. It was a short uphill walk from Russell Falls – a bit more effort, but manageable, and the reward was worth it. Horseshoe Falls has a quieter, more tucked-away feel, and the kids loved climbing the steps and rocks along the way. The track loops around, so we ended up walking through more of the forest and seeing even more of the natural beauty that the park has to offer.

There’s something really special about being out in nature like this – no screens, no rush, just the sound of the water, the trees, and the excited voices of our kids exploring. We finished the day with a snack at the picnic area near the visitor centre before heading back to Hobart.

It was a peaceful, refreshing, and family-friendly day out – we all agreed it was one of the highlights of our Tassie trip. Highly recommend Mt Field and Russell Falls for anyone looking to experience Tasmania’s natural beauty up close.

Bruny Island Ferry Ride – A Memorable Family Adventure

Posted on July 8, 2025 | Leave a comment

One of the most memorable parts of our Tasmania trip was the ferry ride to Bruny Island with SeaLink. The whole experience felt like the perfect start to a day of exploring. We booked our return car ticket online for around $46, which made things a bit easier—but we still had to wait in the queue for nearly an hour before boarding, as it does get quite busy. A little patience goes a long way here!

As soon as we drove onto the ferry and stepped out of the car, the kids were buzzing with excitement. It felt so different from our usual drives—open air, fresh breeze, and the excitement of heading to an island. The view from the ferry was absolutely stunning—calm blue waters, rolling hills in the distance, and seagulls soaring overhead.

We stood out on the deck, soaking in the peaceful scenery and cool sea air, chatting and taking in the moment. The kids were running from side to side, spotting boats, waving at other passengers, and just enjoying the whole vibe. It was such a wholesome moment for the family.

We were all excited knowing that once we arrived, a full day of island adventures awaited us—beautiful beaches, wildlife, and great food. The ferry ride really set the tone for a fun and relaxed day on Bruny Island.

If you’re visiting Tasmania with family, we highly recommend taking the time to do this ferry trip. It’s not just a way to get to the island—it’s part of the experience!
