If ever there was a cute place to take your kids, it's the Koala Hospital. It's the world's first hospital dedicated solely to koala care, and staff conduct tours every day, as well as occasional educational programs and lectures. Then, head to Billabong Zoo to get a closer look at a variety of Australian and exotic animals. You can pet, hold and feed a lot of the cute, cuddly, scaly or feathered critters.
