The twilight tour was an awesome way to get a mix of local culture and see the nocturnal animals starting their day! Keeper Jordan and Volunteer Betty did an awesome job taking our small group around the park to see the Tassie devil, koalas, feed kangaroos, spot the croc and wallaby’s, with the night finished with a lovely lemon myrtle tea and a Dreamtime story of how the birds got their colours. Jordan was WONDERFUL with keeping our 2.5 year old engaged, happy to hold his hand and hi-5 and involve him in doing tasks to keep him engaged as there is a bit of walking. This meant by the time we made it to the Roos he was following instructions and listening well. Betty the volunteer shared amazing knowledge too. They beautifully incorporated local culture such as learning around a yarning circle and explaining why yarning circles are important in Indigenous culture.

Came across this on trip advisor and decided to check it out. We love the outdoors and also booked in to have afternoon tea with koalas. It was great to visit the wildlife hospital and hear from the keepers what is happening with the animals - they seemed to be very well looked after and happy. The koala tea was definitely a highlight as we got to cuddle a koala (or more so, the koala got to cuddle us)! Loved it, and everyone in the family loved it too.

This park has been there for since 1945 and is very well maintained and presented. We have been before but many years ago. Good displays and plenty to see. The bird display in the arena was the highlight for us. We felt the entry fee was a bit expensive and might put off some people. Plus there was a fee of $10 to park. But overall it was a pleasant experience.

AMAZING my favourite trip on my holiday so far. I enjoyed it so much as one I love animals two like to see them in as natural as possible in a wildlife park which they were, all the animals were in big enclosures plenty of trees, grass swimming areas ect. Three I love lorakeets and got to feed many wild ones loved it! And four it was a great place to explore.

The park is beautiful, the workers & volunteers all exude passion for their work (talks were great, they were really friendly in a personal way), & they certainly do good works (reminded constantly of their non-profit status & by conservation focused statements). Viewing the hospital from the outside was interesting. We were lucky to see the koalas all active, eating, climbing etc, The free flight bird display was fantastic & the highlight (saw it twice!) No exhibits were spectacular (although I might be a little jaded having gone to a lot of parks in the last few months) & I'm sure foreign visitors (& little kids) would have been thrilled with contact with Australian animals we encounter frequently in our back yards. One main gripe, mentioned in previous posts, is the terrible map which is unreadable. What's wrong with a simple clear black & white map? Added to lousy (or lack of) signage we became frequently frustrated going around in circles trying to find exhibits (missethd cassuary & dingos, & only saw the reptiles on the way out when we were too tired). As an older couple backtracking & going up & down slopes was exhausting. One thought, we were impressed at Hartley's Crocodile Adventures (Cairns) they allowed you to visit over a few days, which allowed you to do a morning & return another day for the afternoon activities. This might work well for families & seniors to best take in the displays & shows.

The sanctuary is a good place to go with your family or friends, my experience was amazing. They care the animals and protect them very well. You can live the experience if seeing the hospital, participate in different activities and learn a lot about environmental care.
