  • Cook Labor Government offers four free Perth Zoo passes for all Western Australians

  • 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.

Comments attributed to 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."
