While it's a simple climb to the top it was a bit of fun & we paid the $2 for our certificates. The toy factory is amazing & you can do a tour for only $4. We had a great time feeding the animals, you purchase generous bags of food for $2 & you get close to all of the... More

there is nothing to do here basically only if u want to buy the wooden toy in the shop. There is a free zoo filled with native animals and they roam freely. You can touch and pat them if u're not scared. The bad things is, the zoo is not so clean. More

You can walk around and look through the windows and watch how wooden toys are made. Lots and lots of wooden toys and other educational toys. Plenty of souvenirs for the overseas /interstate visitors. Go for a stroll in the free wildlife enclosure. (If you want a bag of food it's a gold coin donation) When you are finished enjoy... More

Our kids enjoyed the climb to the top - great exercise for dad too. The adjacent toy shop also occupied them for quite a while, they loved the wooden toys. We had an icecream here and checked out the wildlife - a good break in our journey. More

We have visited this attraction regularly for the past 20 years as our kids have grown from toddlers to adults - still a lot of fun - and the toys from the adjacent Toy Factory are durable - the kids still have the ones we bought 20 years ago! More

We were not disappointed and neither was our 3 year old. The main attraction was the Giant Rocking... More
