“Meh”

Reviewed 16 May 2012

Not as good as other national parks. It's pretty boring, no events, not allowed to do much there, unclean and empty and old. More

“Great way to see kangaroos up close”

Reviewed 6 May 2012

I have visited Yanchep National Park often over the last 10 years and love the relaxed, family atmosphere of the park.

“Lots to enjoy at Yanchep”

Reviewed 27 February 2012

person found this review helpful

We've been to Yanchep a number of times. We enjoy the little Koala walk, the kangaroos, birds such as Carnaby's Cockatoos, and the Aboriginal shows. This is a one man show, but very interesting as well as the other with dancing. They also have caves and a nice gift shop and cafe. More
