"We had a wonderful morning at the zoo. It had great enclosures, clean and well kept. The gran children were able to get close to many of the animals and had no trouble spotting those that were in enclosures. The animals appeared to be very well kelt and many had a rapport with their keepers. The wombats even rolled over for tummy rubs, very cute. A wonderfull time was had by all."

Julie Muir

"It is a small interactive zoo. It is fun to feed the kangaroos by hand. The animal presentations are fun and informative."

Deep Patel

"Visiting the wildlife park was so enjoyable, it was honestly just a spur of the moment on this solo trip but it was worth it. There were a few animals out that day but not too many, maybe it was hot that day, but you can't not see kangaroos just chilling about so you have plenty of time to feed them, a food bag costs an extra 4 bucks fyi.. careful tho, some kangaroos really chomp down so hold your hand out flat 🤣. It was also really nice of the park to have presentations around the zoo/park so ppl could go to, both to watch animals but to learn more about them at the same time, I managed to watch one about the tigers :)"

Ricky Chan

"The most funny place to have interaction with Kangaroos from kangaroo island, Emus, llamas, etc. Reptile show is awesome! Plenty of green areas with tables and seats to have a picnic."

Julio Najera

"Kids had a great time. They cuddled Koala's, fed Kangaroos, and took lots of photos, including with Kangaroos. The tiger enclosure and the mini showtime are great, too. There was a wait inside the cafe during lunchtime. However, the food and the coffee were great. Tip: Get food for kangaroos at the front before you go in."

Sanoj

"Great place for everyone... The staff is very friendly and informative. Oh and don't forget to eat their Fish & Chips 👌 perfectly cooked. 😋"

Farhan Khan

“Our goal is to provide a quality interactive experience between people and animals for the promotion of respect, empathy, and understanding. We contribute to the survival of the environments we ultimately share with them.”
