What a beautiful place! Such a great experience and excellent way to spend a few hours. Plenty of parking, easy access for peaks and wheelchairs, the shows are informative and entertaining. Staff are very friendly and very approachable, so all questions are easily answered. We bought a packed lunch and there are plenty of tables and benches all throughout the park to sit and picnic. We had a range of ages from 60 to 3 years old and everyone loved it! Highly recommend a visit.

Fantastic little park for a couple of hours at reasonable cost for a family. My 11 and 13 year olds really enjoyed it.

The kangaroo field is large and many kangaroos can interact. It seems that we have not experienced many varieties of birds and animals. The old train is very interesting, the education of children. Bring fun to the family. The last part will be the Australian parrot feeding. However, the number of birds has decreased in recent years.

What a great intimate wildlife park! The kids loved it! The Rangers were awesome, with a special shout out to Zach, who was so friendly and approachable! Would recommend this place!

Rate this place. Small, but intimate. Saw a show (creatures of the night) and we (myself, husband, and two daughters) loved it. Lovely boardwalk to see the animals, which looked happy and well-looked after. More of a natural habitat than exhibits like other zoos. Not too crowded. Very ethereal place to visit, actually. Cafe is quite basic, with just fish and chips, nuggets and chips, or display case sandwiches on offer. Nice coffee. We were happy with that as a family as it cost us $23 for lunch. If that's not your thing, I think you can bring a picnic lunch. It was such a shame it started to rain and we had no ponchos, we would have liked to go around again and see another show. Would definitely recommend a visit.
