====Wallaby Walkabout and Boomerang Railway====

Designed to replicate the Australian outback, Wallaby Walkabout features winding paths that visitors share with [[kangaroo]]s, [[Red-necked wallaby|Red-necked wallabies]], and [[Common wallaroo]]s during the months of April through October.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.clemetzoo.com/tour/exhibit.asp?exhibit_id=14 |title=Cleveland Metroparks Zoo - Virtual Tour |access-date=2008-08-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090220070728/http://www.clemetzoo.com/tour/exhibit.asp?exhibit_id=14 |archive-date=2009-02-20 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The landscape includes vegetation intended to be consumed by the animals. Families can also take a train ride through the exhibit. In July 2007, the Zoo fell under scrutiny from [[PETA]] after a one-year-old kangaroo was struck and killed by the exhibit's "Boomerang Railway" train. In response, the Zoo quickly dismissed the employee who was operating the train and installed a fence along the tracks to prevent future injuries from happening.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2007/07/peta_wants_zoo_fine_for_kangar.html|title=PETA wants zoo fined for Kangaroo death|website=Blog.cleveland.com|date=26 July 2007 |access-date=5 August 2018}}</ref>
