Get up close and personal with a cheetah at Canberra's National Zoo and Aquarium. Join the cheetah Solo on his daily outing and enjoy the rare opportunity to meet and pat one of these amazing creatures. This experience also includes full day entry to explore the wonders of the park.
Ever dreamt you might be able to handle some of the world's most amazing wildlife? Cheetahs are the fastest land animal in the world, running up to 110km an hour, and in the wild they are found only in Africa. Canberra's National Zoo and Aquarium offers one of the most amazing animal experiences in Australia - the opportunity to have hands-on contact with one of these majestic big cats. During your cheetah encounter, you will join Solo on his daily outing to the behind the scenes lookout. An experienced zookeeper will be with you to answer your questions and guide you as you meet and pat this incredible animal. Spend the rest of the day exploring the park, coming face to face with native Aussie icons and exotic creatures. There's also a cafe, bistro, several picnic areas and complimentary BBQ facilities for your convenience.
Children under the age of 16 needs to be accompanied by a paying adult
Up to four people per encounter.
Guests join Solo on his daily walk in an off-display area of the zoo. For this reason we are unable to bring spectators.
Encounters run in all weather, excluding electrical storms or high winds.

That's 10% of the Australian population! When we started 'doing' experiences in 2001, Facebook didn't exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We've been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we've got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we'll do the work for you.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That's why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author's experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
