Please make your own way to Adelaide Zoo, which is situated on Frome Road, near the River Torrens. Entry is via Frome Road (follow the signs) or Plane Tree Drive next to the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. The Adelaide Zoo has a Getting Here guide that you can follow.
You will have your badge checked on arrival before entering for the dinner. No badge, no entry.
There are 3 recommended methods of getting to the Penguin Dinner at the Adelaide Zoo, depending on your fitness and mobility. Of course, you can arrange your own transport using taxi services, Uber-type services, ride or walk. The first suggestion is for those who want to have minimal walking.
