This is probably my fav attraction at port Stephens as a solo traveller! I love animals and am amazed how up close we could get with them in this spacious park. I enjoyed myself with a field of kangaroos where some of them were not shy in exploring my bracelet, hair and clothings at all! The animals feeding were great fun too, feeding those cute goats with a milk bottle, only to have 10 of them fighting for that bottle all over you:) I had a great time at the park and would recommend it to everyone- adult or kid. If you love animals, this is the best park to visit.

Overpriced and seems like animals are neglected! Volunteers everywhere but no one is brushing the horses or cleaning up the poop...

Dear Sheena D,
Thank you for taking the time to review Oakvale Wildlife Park in relation to your recent visit.
We value all feedback on our guest's visits and we would love the opportunity to address any concerns you have about our animal welfare; please do give us a call to discuss the matter further.
In respect of your comments in relation to equids. Our Ponies and Donkeys receive regular grooming, however like other equids, they like to roll around in dirt mounds. This is a natural behaviour of which they should be given the opportunity to perform, and our enclosures facilitate that behaviour. Also, like Canines and many other animals, Equids will shed their coat and this process is not completed in just one day, which could give the impression of a poor coat when patchy areas are visible from time to time. Regarding any faeces you may have identified, I can assure you their enclosures are cleaned daily. And just to reiterate, we would not be given the accreditation if the welfare of any of our animals or conditions they reside in was compromised in any way.
If you have any concerns during a visit, please feel free to approach a member of our friendly team who will be happy to address them with you.
Oakvale wildlife park is a member of the ZAA (Zoo and Aquarium Association) organisation and as such, we are required to maintain a high standard of animal care in order to meet the scrutiny of inspections carried out by ZAA at Oakvale Wildlife Park to pass the accreditation process for this prestigious membership. In addition, Oakvale has recently been awarded 3rd place for Best Tourist Attraction in Australia, which is a substantial achievement that recognises our outstanding work.

Oakvale Team

We had a great time at Oakvale Wildlife park. We arrived in time to feed the baby lambs and goats their bottles which the kids (and me!) loved. After a tractor ride we then walked around the park feeding the various animals. There were Kangaroos, pony’s, cows, rabbits, camels, donkeys, lemurs and wallabies.
The kids then had a cool down in the splash park and a play on the playgrounds before we attended 2 presentations on reptiles and Koalas. The kids were able to get photos taken with lizards, snakes and koalas.
We waved to the 2 alligators on the way out and had a car full of happy and exhausted kids.
