Description:
Founded in 1898, Perth Zoo is one of Western Australia’s most loved and recognised icons. We specialise in immersing you in the wonders of the natural world from around the globe. And we are serious about the importance of wildlife. We are one of Australia’s leading conservation organisations, supporting wildlife projects both locally and internationally. The Japanese Garden amphitheatre located just behind the conference centre is a beautiful and intimate outdoor retreat, suitable for large meetings and conferences. Set in a private area among the Japanese style garden and rockpool, the Japanese Garden offers a grassed amphitheatre which is perfect for more intimate wedding ceremonies.
