Finding the park

Monarto Safari Park is about 70 km from Adelaide’s city centre, roughly an hour by car: leave the South Eastern Freeway at the Monarto exit.

• By car: parking at the Visitor Centre is free all day, with accessible, caravan and EV charging bays.
• By bus: LinkSA runs buses from Adelaide, including a direct weekday morning service; bookings are essential.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• Accessible toilets and a Changing Places facility at the Visitor Centre.
• The Zu-loop bus, included in your ticket, with a volunteer guide on board.
• A picnic area with sheltered tables near the café.
• The park’s café, open daily.

Bring water, sun protection and a hat; the last Zu-loop bus leaves at 15:00. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

Most Zu-loop buses are wheelchair accessible, and there are accessible toilets and a Changing Places facility at the Visitor Centre. The walking tracks are unsealed and have no stairs, and suit wheelchairs with assistance. Assistance animals cannot enter the park.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• If you are bringing a stroller, confirm the current arrangements before arrival.
• Ask park staff for assistance or directions during your visit.

Enjoy the park thoughtfully

• Keep to the visitor paths, walk rather than run, and supervise children.
• Stay on the tracks, follow keepers’ instructions and give the animals space; assistance animals cannot enter the park.
• Smoking and animals are not permitted on the site.
• Commercial photography and filming, including product promotion, need permission.
• Follow the signs and staff guidance, including any restrictions in the exhibition spaces.

Walking tracks can close at short notice in bad weather, and the park may close on Catastrophic Fire Ban days.

Make time for a pause

The park’s café is open daily, and the Outpost pop-up café opens at busy times. You are welcome to bring a picnic, but barbecues are not allowed.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

Bring water, sun protection and a hat: much of the park is open country.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: go to the Visitor Centre at 63 Monarto Road with your barcoded tickets ready.
• Dress for exploring: comfortable walking shoes, sun protection and a charged phone make the day easier.
• Leave space to linger: allow time for the Zu-loop and a walk on one of the tracks; the last bus leaves at 15:00.
