This is a great place to see Australian animals. In a lot of no-cage zoos the animals either run at first sight of a person, or they maul you to get whatever food you've brought in.

We found the park easily and luckily we were early enough to be with the koalas. If later it is too hot no chance. Walked among kangaroos, and other animals, they all have plenty of space More

Don't miss Cleland especially if you have children. They can feed the kangaroos and hold the koalas if it is not too hot out. We have visited many times and love it! More

My husband, mother, and grandmother recently spend a day here. It was wonderful. We were able to feed hundreds of kangaroos and wallabies and even emus! We were also able to pet the koala included in the price of admission. If you want to hold the koala it is an extra $30. More

Cleland is an open and welcoming ground with loads of friendly (and some not so friendly) animals. A great way to experience Australian fauna. I used to thoroughly enjoy the night tours as a kid, if they still run them I would definitely recommend them. More

Doesn't everyone come to Australia to cuddle a Koala? Cleland is an awesome place to get up close and personal with just about all Aussie fauna. Very clean and well kept grounds Good food and a great reptile house.Lots of birds and lizards and little marsupials running around.Dingos! Devils! Roos! Wallabys! Emus!and Koalas! A very nice wonderful day. More

This is the first stop for any guests who are visiting. Everyone wants to cuddle a Koala, feed a Kangaroo. They beauty of this location is that it is so time easy, you can easily spend the morning here and then got to Mt. Lofty and then drive across the Adelaide Hills. More
