What makes it 81% Couple-Friendly: Couples can share breakfast with koalas, evening Astra Lumina light walk and lorikeet feeding for memorable photos, yet the park’s family focus means limited quiet romantic spots.

Positives:

Challenges:

Worth coming! This place is kept neat and clean. The animals / reptiles are housed in nice and spacious environment. Parking area is spacious however it is $10 per entry. You can take picture with the koala at a price. The kids enjoy the interaction at the kangaroo zone.

Very nice wildlife park spread over a large area. Very interactive with many areas to walk amongst the animals, the kids really enjoyed getting up close to them. We didn’t bother feeding the kangaroos as they seemed like they were all fed by 11am, so if you want to experience feeding the kangaroos probably earlier in the day they would be hungrier.

It was a very good experiences with the wonderful staffs who always give us a good experience. The bird flight show was spectacular and worth the time. The presentation of the animals by the staffs was awesome and there were good activities to wow the visitors. Treetop activities will be good when it restart. Worth a visit!

And feeding birds is the best part to be at th...

My teenage daughter wanted to do the high ropes and she really enjoyed it and felt safe at all times. Finding a park was a big of a challenge but if you got there early in the day it would probably be easier. I'd recommend allowing the whole day especially if you have littl...
