Prehistoric Zoo Walking Tours Rockhampton

Experience the prehistoric world on this exciting walking tour through the Rockhampton Zoo led by paleontologist Phil Hore. Over 45 minutes to an hour, children and adults can see and hold real fossils from animals that roamed the earth long ago. Discover the ancient relatives of T Rex, Megalodon, mammoths, saber tooth tigers, giant crocodiles, combat wombats, enormous kangaroos, giant killer birds, Tassie tigers, and other fascinating prehistoric creatures. Every child receives a free fossil to take home, making this a memorable and educational experience for young dinosaur fans.

The tour meets outside the front entrance of the Rockhampton Zoo, and guests are asked to arrive 15 minutes early as tours depart on time. The walk is outdoors and must stay clear of zoo operations, so some animals may not be on display. Guests are encouraged to remain aware of their surroundings while exploring the zoo with the guide. Cameras are welcome, and visitors should dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes. This interactive tour combines fun, education, and adventure, giving participants a hands on experience of the ancient world while observing modern zoo animals and understanding their prehistoric connections.
