    It was quite inspiring to learn about the life and work of Dr. David Fleay. The park itself is a lovely place. However, it is not that well maintained, perhaps due to lack of funding. I watched 2 shows, the birds show and the crocodile show. They were well conducted, and the volunteers were quite knowledgeable on their respective subjects. It is a nice place to go for a walk. However, there isn't much to see. There is a cafe close to the entrance, but with rather limited vegetarian/ vegan options. Tickets can be purchased at the entrance. There is a free car park which is wheelchair accessible.

    My family visited January 11,2023. We love seeing animals and this wild life park cares about the animals. It is small but very interactive. The staff are willing to answer any questions and provide back stories about the animals. It was a very enjoyable visit.

    This felt like a work in progress. It is a lovely setting among the bush, and within the park it feels pretty "natural". But, not many animals to see, and large parts were "coming soon" or "under construction". It has great potential though.

    We held our daughter's 18th birthday party in the lawn garden. It was a perfect spot with views of some animals and shade in the afternoon. The staff went above and beyond to make sure this was a special day. They even ran back and forth with the ice cream cake trying to keep it all in one piece. All our guests loved the food and a wonderful day was had by all. I would thoroughly recommend David Fleay Wildlife Park for any event.

    3 stars means it's ok..my stars are for the Cafe staff which are excellent, the Cafe food which was delicious and the platypus..I was quite disappointed with the actual park..Lots of empty spaces and not enough animals..There was only 1 of most animals like the 1 poor dingo that paced back and forth,the 1 alligator, and the 1 emu..Couldn't even see the tree kangaroo..Supposedly there were 2 koalas but I didn't see them.The reptile hut was closed..I'm just happy I saw the platypus and bilby or I would of been really disappointed..It's just not good enough..A few wallaby's but where were the kangaroos..There is a free zoo in Ipswich and that's got more animals..Very disappointed ..
