Calling all New South Wales and Victorian animal lovers, you're in for a fur-real treat. Both Taronga Zoo and Zoos Victoria have announced they will be reopening to the public, as of next week, Monday 1 June.

If you've been hanging out at home watching Taronga TV or Zoos Victoria's Animals at Home - you can now watch all the action IRL! Grab your kids, your mates, or both, and start planning an escape that's not just to the supermarket.

P.S. Your outing will also support both organisations and their critical conservation missions. So it's a win for everyone!

Make sure you pre-purchase your tickets online prior to your arrival, as daily capacity limits do apply and require tickets to be purchased online ahead of time.

In NSW, this includes both Taronga Zoo Sydney and Taronga Western Plains Dubbo - they've got tickets on sale now for their reopening! Head to their website to pre-purchase your entry tickets and for more info.

In VIC, Zoos Victoria announced the opening of Healesville Sanctuary, Melbourne Zoo and Werribee Open Range Zoo, with tickets also now on sale via their website. Grab the latest info and plan your trip today.

Can't wait until Monday to get your zoo fix? Here's a dose of virtual cuteness to keep you entertained.
