Western Plains Zoo with over half a million visitors a year is a ’must see’ if you are in Dubbo.
Make sure you allow a couple of days - a one day admission gets you in free for a second day as well. It’s best to go as early as you can in the day when most of the animals are awake.
Hiring Bikes is a good option - take plenty of water!
The Otters are a hit for the kids, make sure you see them at a feeding time when they go chasing prawns. The Siamung Apes are crazy and fun, feeding time is just after lunch and well worth it, they put on a spectacular show.

A great spot for a picnic, Victoria Park is without a doubt the best Park in Dubbo. It’s right in the centre of Dubbo, opposite the railway station, on the corner of Darling and Talbragar Streets. A great place for a walk, or game of cricket, or just to sit down and read a book, have a birthday party, whatever. Lot’s of shade.
- The best shade park in Dubbo.
- Heaps of space.
- Children’s swings and climbing frame.
- Good BBQ’s that are free and always clean.
- A duck pond - bring some bread to feed the ducks.
- Lots of Orchids in a greenhouse. A big rose garden too.
- The Dubbo Olympic Pool is in the middle of Victoria Park.
It’s often hard to find good public BBQs on holidays, but the council have just installed new free electric BBQs in Victoria Park which are very good, and plenty hot enough to cook a steak on.
