Make family time great. Take home big memories. Plan an unforgettable adventure.

What if you could buy one ticket, in one transaction that gave you entry to four unforgettable experiences? Holidays should be enjoyable, so turn off the stress and dial up the fun with the Dubbo Region Great Big Adventure Pass!

The Great Big Adventure Pass is a multi-ticket to Taronga Western Plains Zoo, Old Dubbo Gaol, the NEW Royal Flying Doctor Visitor Experience and the Wellington Caves.

Go wild / Immerse yourself in an unforgettable safari adventure at Taronga Western Plains Zoo. With wide open spaces, see hundreds of rare and endangered animals in their natural element. Explore on foot or ride around on hired bikes or carts. You can even hire a pedal boat! Catch a keeper talk or two, behind the scenes tour or an up close animal encounter. See first-hand how the Zoo's experts heal the wild at the brand new purpose built Wildlife Hospital.

Look back / Walk in the footsteps of a 19th century prisoner at Old Dubbo Gaol. This State Heritage listed site has been carefully restored to create a pocket in time and give a glimpse into Australian prison history. Explore the eerie cells, take a stroll in the exercise yard and experience a bird’s-eye view from the watchtower.

Go underground / Australia’s prehistoric past is within reach at the incredible Wellington Caves. Unearth the mysteries of megafauna that once roamed the land, and find out what those miners were up to 100 years ago in the Phosphate Mine [currently not available]. Marvel at the 15m tall stalagmite in the Cathedral Cave and the delicate dripping stalactites in the Gaden Cave.

Fly high / Touch down into the world of heroic doctors, nurses, pilots and outback communities with the Royal Flying Doctor Visitor Experience. Live each moment as they deliver urgent medical care across a 7.69 million square km ‘waiting room’ - the Australian outback. See through the eyes of unique outback characters and communities. Experience their stories and challenges across the vast Australian remote areas - as if you’re right there.
