The following are excerpts from Havewheelchairwilltravel.net:
"Low fencing, glass enclosures and designated seating make the majority of the animals easy to view around the zoo.
Ramping makes access easy to elevated enclosures including the koalas.
Bindi’s Island tree house is only acccessible on the ground floor.
The Wildlife Hospital is accessible. Admission to the hospital is an additional charge to your entry ticket to the Zoo.
Designated seating is available for wheelchair and scooter users. It’s undercover which is fantastic for the midday show in the hotter months."
