Positives:

  • Easy stroller access: Wide, paved paths and ramps allow smooth pram or wheelchair movement.
  • Free baby facilities: Baby-change tables and parents’ rooms are available at all toilet blocks.

Challenges:

  • Limited shade in some areas: Covered seating is sparse near the lorikeet aviary and free-roam zones.
  • Busy peak hours: Midday can get crowded; lines form at popular encounters after 11 am.

Affordable place to bring your little kids and especially if you’re an animal lover. You can get up close the different native Australian animals. They look well taken care of and because it’s a sanctuary (and not a zoo), they have some pretty strict rules.

You could tell the animals were well taken care of. Being able to interact with the Kangaroos was incredible. The photo op ...

Definitely 5 stars! I had never seen many of the animals here. I felt like a big kid who was discovering new things. The photo op with the koala was priceless. The layout could be better, but there was a map to assist. The gift shop had since good deals. I’d 100% recommend this place.

The best experience ever. Honestly a dream come true to feed quokkas and have them cuddle in my lap. Feeding the wombats and kangaroos were also amazing. If you're looking for a way to see Australian animals up close this is how you do it.
