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.
