Molonglo Valley Weston CreekThe National Zoo & Aquarium is the only combined zoo and aquarium in Australia, set on roughly seven hectares beside Scrivener Dam a few minutes west of the city. Its event offering has grown well beyond birthday parties: there are now ten distinct spaces catering for anything from 20 guests to 350, indoors and out.
The newest is the Capybara Event Centre, an indoor function room next to the Rhino Bistro in the South American precinct, with windows onto the capybaras, llamas and cotton-top tamarins and built-in audiovisual. It configures for theatre, cabaret, classroom, U-shape or boardroom layouts. Outdoors, the Viewing Park cabanas put guests among the rhinos, cheetahs, giraffes and zebras. Full and half-day delegate packages bundle the venue, catering, refreshments, AV and zoo entry for everyone attending, and exclusive after-hours hire is available for evening events.
