Really enjoyed our afternoon here, especially hand-feeding the wallabies who were so cute. There was a wide open bush area to walk around in where the animals seemed very relaxed and if they were hungry they would bounce up to you and ask for food.

What a wonderful walk around beautiful scenary and the ability to learn about the animals was great. The large birds of prey were so amazing and hand feeding the animals was brilliant. Although the emus can get a bit cheeky! Staff were very helpful and always smiling - highly recommend. More

While the kids enjoyed the free roaming kangaroos, the place looks like it needs a dam good clean up. The animal enclosures, look far too small particularly for those birds of prey. This is no longer on our school camp... More
