Nice to go to a place that is not over commercialised like a big Zoo. Admission Price reasonable. Spider display room needs to be updated. The kids loved all the displays and shows, though if you are not early enough to the shows, it is hard to see everything. Yes, the catering prices are a little high, but they serve... More

My 5 year son is a snake and lizard fanatic and we just had a great day here! We thought it was reasonable compared with other zoos but packed our own lunch and just bought iceblocks which probably saved us quite a bit of money! The snake shows were fantastic (a venomous snake show which we've never seen anywhere else!)... More

VEry expensive and in truth not an awful lot to see. For the admission price you would expect more attractions - and the catering prices were sky high too.SOme enclosures closed with no notice at the admission gate. Would not return again. More

We visited here as a family. Lovely park, feels very homely, and the animlas seem so happy in a natural environment, not like a zoo. Great keepers. Very informative talks. Great opportunities to get close to the animals and hold them if you want. More

We visited the park In March we arrived fairly early and it wasn't too busy so we managed to get round and see everything. The Alligator feeding and the feeding of Elvis the crocodile were really good and the keepers were very knowledgeable. We were able to pet Koalas and Kangaroos which were the highlight of the trip. The park... More

We got to do a lot for a lower price than elsewhere. We found a coupon for buy 1 ticket, get one free. Great value since we got to see a lot of native Australian animals as well as pet some of them (kangaroos being the highlight). The one sad thing was that it cost money to pet a koala... More

It was fun and the kids really enjoyed it. We loved watching the crocodile being feed and seeing the 10 metre python. We spent the whole day there and spoke about the experience all the way home. More

Great place to experience Australian Wildlife and also other animals. Large enough to spend the whole day there with the family and not get bored. Plenty of BBQ and picnic faucilties to allow you to take your own luch there. Best to drive there, but can use public transport as well. More
