Easter at the Park

Monarto Safari Park is open all Easter weekend, including public holidays

Friday 29 March – Monday 1 April

Bounce in with the family, friends or your someone special to help us celebrate Australia’s very own native ‘Easter Bunny’ – the beloved but threatened Greater Bilby!

This adorable little marsupial is a symbol of hope for native wildlife and here at Zoos SA, we are working hard to protect this bouncing bandicoot from extinction.

Spend a wild weekend exploring the biggest safari park outside of Africa and show your love for bilbies as you get up close to an amazing range of African and native species.

Bilby conservation

Greater Bilby populations have been devastated by predators like feral cats and foxes with less than 10,000 estimated to remain in the wild.

Zoos SA initiated a breeding program in 1994 for Greater Bilbies and have bred more than 200 individuals. These bilbies have remained at Adelaide Zoo or Monarto Safari Park to continue the program, or have joined over 90 released back into the wild as part of vital recovery projects.

Help ensure these lovable long-eared marsupials have a bright future by adopting a bilby today, or purchase a delicious Melba’s Chocolate Bilby from the Safari Shop with part proceeds supporting conversation.
