We travelled to Gorge Wildlife Park from our home in the south of Adelaide. Despite it being over an hour drive it was well worth the journey! Our family of 5 (12 year old twins and a 10 year old) had a wonderful day out. The park had lots to explore and lots of interesting exhibits. Despite it being a summers day, the large established trees gave lots of shade and kept us quite cool. We took advantage of the free bbq facilities in the park and enjoyed having our lunch inside the park. An absolute highlight was the koala holding, where my children got to meet the sweet little koala Jimmy and have a hold. A beautiful day out for a family and I highly recommend!

It’s quite an adventure getting here from Adelaide CBD on the bus but changing at the Tea Tree Plaza you get amazing scenic views as you near the wildlife park. We got here to find it was too hot to hold the koalas but you could stand next to them. This is where the park missed a trick cos I’m sure most people would have paid something for this opportunity judging by the queue length. Make sure you buy some animal feed and don’t feed it to the 1st kangaroos you see like we did cos they are plenty of animals happy to eat your food. Appreciate you get a park map but would have welcomed more signs guiding you. Overall thought it was very reasonably priced for 3-4 hours enjoying the animals

So much better than Cleland National Park. It’s cheaper, more affordable, a lot better service and overall a magnificent place. Go early so you do the Koala holding which is worth the $10 Feeding the kangaroos was so good too.

Visited from UK with family upon recommendation. Great wildlife park where you can get up close and feed kangaroos, wallabies and other animals birds wandering around. All the animals are well cared for and truly loved by the staff. We watched the meerkats being fed and saw a newborn being "introduced" to the other kats before dad returned it to the safety of mum and the den. Koalas were amazing, natural habitat and the keepers so knowledgeable. My sister and I paid $10 to hold a koala, something we both loved and will remember forever, with keepers on hand to ensure they were safe at all times. Small gift shop not overpriced and able to get food as well.

Excellent place to approach Kangaroos, Wallabys and hold a koala close to Adelaide. Very well maintained and friendly staff. The website ticket shop does not always work. Do not hesitate to call to make a booking.
