Happy Birthday to Canberra's Lion Cub Trio!

The National Zoo and Aquarium

The National Zoo and Aquarium's lion cub trio Tsenza, Mnavu and Kiazi are turning one! Over the weekend the zoo will be celebrating this milestone with a special lion keeper talk at 2pm from the lion boardwalk. There'll also be a commemorative coin available for purchase to celebrate the day. All activities are free with admission and memberships. There are also thrilling encounters and tours, a fantastic playground, one of Australia's largest inland aquariums and picturesque resting areas making the zoo a perfect family day out. There's so much fun to be had at the National Zoo and Aquarium, Canberra's 'Centre of Adventure'.
