Reviews
"Had so much fun! Park has lots of space and I never felt crowded. I really recommend organizing your day by going out to all the feeding times. This is when you are more likely to see the animals and learn lots of cool information while the feeder speaks on a microphone."
"Lovely Zoo. Nicely spaced out and quite a few animals close up. Cafe coffee maker was a little too busy as Sat in school holidays but overall a relaxed experience with a teen."
"Staff were so kind and friendly. Also very imformative. Was easy to get around the park, good facilities. Staff in the cafe were not as friendly but made a decent coffee thank you. Highlight was watching Tiger feed and feeding a giraffe. Thanks heaps for an awesome day. Thankfully weather was great too :)"
"Loved the place. Lots of happy and active animals. All the staff were very nice and all had smiles on their faces. The lion encounter is well worth it too. Nice size place and didn't have to try and rush around to try and see everything, we got to take our time and still got to see all the animals. The natural looking enclosures are also great."
"What a great wildlife park! Lots to see including the baby giraffe. Great for the whole family. We walked the entire park, on a hot day definitely need sunscreen/hats although there were shady places to stop reasonably often."
