Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Kathryn BEast Sussex, UK51 contributionsWe are touring Australia for 2 months and included Alice Springs purely to visit the Kangaroo Sanctuary! It has always been my dream to meet Brolga ( as many before me, a little in love with him ) A charismatic, friendly man with clearly an enormous passion for saving kangaroos & Joeys! The most wonderful tour with him and his gorgeous rescues! I loved every single minute, if you get to attend this tour you are very very fortunate!! Love love love you and what you do Brolga/ Chris!Written 16 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andrew PMelbourne, Australia357 contributionsA terrific representation of the central Australian habitats and their species. Easy walking paths snake through the park, and the place is alive with birds and insects (not in the enclosures). The free-flying bird show is a highlight, with owls, kites and an egg-smashing buzzard swooping just over our heads. A must-do in Alice Springs if you've any interest in nature.Written 4 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mark EWhitianga, New Zealand802 contributionsWe'd been through here 15 years ago and I don't think anything had changed.
It was for our friends benefit we visited here.
There are a range of reptiles on display and Terry the Crocodile out back.
They do bring out some of the lizards etc for a lecture and you can hold them. We didn't hang around for that.
Unfortunately we thought the guys on duty the day we were there were not interested in us or had other things on their minds. At one stage we had the full run of the place, no staff on site.
If you haven't been or haven't been up close to snakes etc you may enjoy the visit.Written 11 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Great swimming spot.
I worked in Alice 45years ago and this was the weekend spot in summer for a swim and BBQ.
Stunning scenery.Written 11 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Mark EWhitianga, New Zealand802 contributionsStopped in here for lunch on our way to Uluru and Yulara.
Had a good crack up, our friends asked if the did Cappuccino coffee and the reply was - we make black coffee, if you want it white, we put a bit of milk in it and it comes with attitude. If you want tea, it comes the same way.
I'd been waiting for that a long time travelling through the Outback. I was surprised how many roadhouses in the wapwaps had coffee machines.
Real Outback style roadhouse.
Fuel available.
Full bar.
Camping ground.Written 11 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Mark EWhitianga, New Zealand802 contributionsWe just visited Emily Gap.
Good parking.
This was the first time I'd seen water in the gap.
We couldn't get to the Aboriginal art further in the gap.
The wild figs weren't ripe either.
No wallabies or kangaroos this time either.Written 11 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is good parking.
The site is just out of town beside the road.Written 11 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is one of those gems that you could so easily miss! Not only is it geologically fascinating, but it is so pretty especially with the wild flowers in bloom. There is parking and a loo, and a short, marked walk of about 1.5 km. . It was a lovely hour break to our journeyWritten 5 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- wombatdavidHobart, Australia2,757 contributionsWe drove here from Alice Springs which does not take long. The carvings are stunning and the clay pan is spectacular too. Please don’t take photos to respect the wishes of the Aboriginal community who care for this place.Written 2 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Neale PCranbourne, Australia246 contributionsDrove out to look at the Owen Springs Homestead. Old remains on a 4 wheel drive track. Worth a look as is the reserve and camping ground areas. Didn’t trek that far inland but worth the drive.Written 19 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
