The 22-year-old shared on Instagram that he’s “heading back home” to work on the lodge, a project designed to welcome visitors and immerse them in wildlife conservation.

Located inside the zoo, the lodge offers rustic cabins, an infinity pool, landscaped gardens, and unlimited zoo access, all built with recycled materials.

Irwin said the goal is to give guests “a proper home away from home” while supporting conservation efforts.

He ended with an invitation: “I hope that you all come and visit me at home sometime soon.”
