Home What’s On Animals & Agriculture Animal Nursery

A Show favourite, completely revamped for 2025.

The Animal Nursery is one of the most loved attractions at the Perth Royal Show, and this year it’s getting a major glow-up. We’ve redesigned the space to be even more interactive, with new walk-through zones, animal feeding opportunities, and rare breeds. Plus, for the first time, you can capture a timeless memory at our professional Animal Photo Studio. Let our on-site photographer create a beautiful portrait of your family with our cuddly creatures – the perfect keepsake from your day at the Show.

Whether you’re cuddling a lamb, brushing a bunny, or watching a piglet get the full spa treatment, the Animal Nursery is the perfect place for families, animal lovers and anyone who enjoys getting up close with life on the farm.
