What makes it 86% Solo-Friendly: Caversham lets solo visitors stroll safe paved paths, hand-feed kangaroos, join keeper talks anytime, and take free photos without needing companions, so the park suits independent travellers.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for solo trip: Allows enough time for self-guided walks, feeding sessions and daily shows without feeling rushed.
Hand-feed kangaroos:
Use free kangaroo pellets to feed and pet kangaroos in the open enclosure between 9:00 am–4:30 pm.
Tip: Visit early to avoid crowds and move slowly to let kangaroos approach you.
Meet a koala:
Join the free koala photo sessions at 9:00 am, 11:30 am or 3:30 pm and pose with a koala using your own camera.
Tip: Arrive 10 minutes before the start time for best positioning and fewer people.
Join the Farm Show:
Watch hands-on demos like lamb feeding and sheep-dog mustering at 10:00 am, 1:00 pm or 3:00 pm.
Tip: Grab a front-row spot 5 minutes before to see keeper demonstrations up close.
Explore aviaries & reptile house:
Walk through tropical and coastal aviaries plus glass-front reptile displays included with admission.
Tip: Visit midday when birds are most active and reptiles basking in heat lamps.

This park is fabulous. So many animals to see and the park is lovely to explore. It's well set out with the paths taking you off on little loops to see the animals. It was lovely getting to pat and interact with the kangaroos and my son was absolutely delighted to be able to meet Jessie the wombat and have a photo with her. The highlight of our perth trip.

We saw plenty of wild kangaroos on our road trip, but this up close experience made the difference. There’s a huge kangaroo/wallaby enclosure where you can pat the kangaroos. There are hundreds of species of animals to be viewed and I’d say this place is more like a zoo than a park. Well worth a visit. Recommended to get tickets in advanced.

Clean and well maintained park. Nice variety of animals. Unfortunately I didn't check the times beforehand for holding the Koalas. Would recommend they do a show midday and not only in the mornings and late afternoons otherwise those without transport will miss the last tram.

Fun day out seeing all the typical Australian wildlife! 🐨🦘🦚 A very relaxed experience where you can wander the various animal pens at your own pace. Depending on the time of day you can can also take photos together with the animals near the gift shop area.
