We had a spare day in Alice and our wonderful host from 'Pathdorf' suggested that we would like this. We arrived at 10.30 and left as they closed. We learnt a lot about the plants, animals and birds that manage to survive the hostile desert environment. The birds were stunning and the information boards brilliant...so good that we had to...

Alice Springs itself is a seriously unattractive town. Fortunately it is surrounded by some stunning scenery which makes the trip well worth while. The Alice Springs Desert Park is a stunner. Beautifully laid out into the different desert zones, its easy to navigate and well worth the admissions fee.

The Destert Park had `a comprehensive range of reptiles, animals, flora and displays relted to the diverse local cenvironment. The bird show in the amphitheatre is not to be missed

Recommend bringing a lunch or snacks, and... More

We spend a few hours in A.S. Desert Park, starting with the most interesting talk by a local Aboriginal guide. Then on to a bird show with lots of Eagles flying over our heads. The indoor nocturnal exhibit is beautifully done, we were rewarded with the sight of two thorny devils. The park is very well maintained and reflects the... More
