Terri Irwin and her kids at Australia Zoo in Queensland
Australia Zoo in Queensland, Australia, is to open a kids’ waterpark zone, zoo owner Terri Irwin has said.

Irwin – wife of the ‘crocodile hunter’, the late Steve Irwin – said the children’s waterplay area is under construction. Theming for the new area includes a huge laughing frog, a kookaburra and a crocodile.

The area will be finished off with cabanas and food and drinks.

“We are so excited to see this new area being created by our incredible team,” local press reported Irwin as saying. “Our enormous laughing frog will tip immense amounts of water after you hear him start croaking.”

Entry to the splash park will be included in the cost of zoo admission.
