Murray Bridge Visitor Information

Although many of the Murray Bridge attractions are water based, such as skiing and swimming, there are many exciting on-land attractions that are well worth a visit. Just out of Murray Bridge there is a new open-range zoo and breeding ground for arid and grassland animals (Monarto Zoological Park). Many species of animals can roam this 1000 hectare site. Tourists have the opportunity to take a Safari Bus around the park with a personal guide.

Today the city is the centre of a major agricultural district which is driven by dairying, chicken raising, pig breeding, tomato and snow pea growing.
