Explore the Wonders of Darling Downs Zoo

Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving from the center of Darling Downs, start by heading west on Ruthven St towards Hume St. Continue on this road for about 15 kilometers until you reach the junction with the New England Highway (A39). Turn right onto New England Highway and follow it for approximately 25 kilometers. Then, take the exit for the Cunningham Highway (A15) and continue for about 30 kilometers. Take the exit toward Baines Rd, Pilton, and turn left onto Baines Rd. The Darling Downs Zoo will be on your right at 21 Baines Rd, Pilton QLD 4361.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transport, take the local bus service from the main bus terminal in Darling Downs to the nearest town with access to regional buses. You will likely need to transfer to a regional service that travels towards Pilton. Check the current schedules as they may vary. Once you arrive in Pilton, you may need to arrange for a taxi or rideshare service to reach the zoo, as it is about 5 kilometers from the town center. Be prepared for potential waiting times for the next bus service, as regional transport can be less frequent.

• Taxi/Rideshare

  If you find public transportation schedules inconvenient or prefer a direct route, you can use a taxi or rideshare service (like Uber). You can book a ride from your current location in Darling Downs directly to the zoo at 21 Baines Rd, Pilton QLD 4361. This option may incur additional costs, so be sure to check the estimated fare in your rideshare app before booking.
