This place is just lovely. The breakfast with the birds was loved by all, especially the kids. The shows are great and you do get close to the animals, which is what we love. The admission price, including breakfast is well worth the price!

The lunch buffet was pretty good. Most of the animals are native to Northern Queensland. I ended up following the zoo keeper around for almost 3 hours because he gave such an educational talks about the animals in the Habitat.

We then went and walked through the zoo and fed the kangaroos and wallabys. They also had an amazing assortment of birds and... More

I am not usually a fan of zoos or nature parks but I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Wildlife Habitat. Visitors here benifit from incredibly close encounters with a brilliant variety of australian wildlife. From the first moment you step into the park, you are greeted by a huge cassowary named cassie. I have spent most of my life... More
