Australia Zoo was last night awarded ‘Best Family Day Out’ at the third annual What’s On 4 Junior Awards, at the Brisbane Convention Centre.
The national awards were presented by highly regarded family entertainment website What’s On 4 Little Ones, who receive over 1 million hits per year from families and individuals all over Australia.
Sponsored by Disney On Ice, a strong crowd of respected family organisations from around the country stepped out to celebrate the event.
The general public had voted online in 14 different categories, including the ‘Best Family Day Out’ which saw Australia Zoo take home the prize over a high calibre of fellow nominees – Sydney’s Taronga Zoo and Perth’s Scitech Discovery Centre.
