- Cook Labor Government offers four free Perth Zoo
passes for all Western Australians
- Families to save more than $100 on a day out at
the Perth Zoo
- Free Perth Zoo tickets can be booked via

- Initiative to help Western Australians
experiencing cost of living pressures
Western
Australians can visit Perth Zoo for free this spring thanks to the Cook Labor
Government's new Perth Zoo Free Pass.
The $6.2
million initiative provides an opportunity for Western Australians experiencing
cost of living pressures to enjoy a memorable day at the Zoo for free between 9
September and 30 November 2024.
Every
Western Australian can claim up to four free tickets to Perth Zoo via the
ServiceWA app, starting today.
The
Perth Zoo Free Pass can be used to admit both children and adults, and also
provides free public transport to and from the Zoo.
A family of four headed
to Perth Zoo will save more than $100 in ticket prices, plus more than $10 in
public transport costs.
The Perth Zoo Free Pass
builds on a range of cost of living measures delivered by the Cook Labor
Government this year, including the WA Student Assistance Payment, the $700
Household Electricity Credit, free public transport for school students and on
Sundays, and boosting Regional Pensioner Travel Card.
More than 800,000 people
visited Perth Zoo last financial year - a new visitation record - underpinned
by the Cook Government's $51 million investment to upgrade facilities and
attractions at the Zoo.

Premier Roger Cook:
"As a Dad from Kwinana, I
know that a day out with the family at Perth Zoo is such an important part of
growing up in WA.
"With many Western
Australian households feeling cost of living pressures, we want to make sure
families can still get out and about over the school holidays and throughout
spring.
"The Perth Zoo Free Pass
means WA families, no matter their financial situation, can enjoy one of our
State's top attractions.
"Tackling cost of living
pressures is my top priority - whether it's bringing down power bills and
public transport costs, or helping families to make the most of school
holidays."
Comments attributed to
Environment Minister Reece Whitby:
"Visiting Perth Zoo is a
beloved pastime for many Western Australians and this initiative provides
people the opportunity to enjoy our inner-city oasis.
"When you claim a ticket,
you can bring up to three people with you to enjoy the Zoo and make memories
together.
"There are plenty of free
zookeeper talks, a brand-new adventure playground, opportunities for guided
tours and bookable animal encounters - it's a great day out with something for
everyone.
"Providing this free pass
initiative will help Perth Zoo introduce even more Western Australians to the
wonderful world of wildlife."
