    We were visiting from the Uk to visit family, and my cousin has been here before, we took one of our nephews, we all loved the park, such a wonderful natural environment for the animals, the rangers were super knowledgable and friendly, we had something to eat in the cafe! Would definitely return when next in Australia

    The sanctuary is too small for the amount of tourist that visit. The carparks are full to capacity from early morning till late afternoon. Found it all but impossible to show my child all the animals, only due to the rudeness of many of the visitors. Constantly pushing in front of the child as she is trying to see the many different sights. Particularly the reptile exhibit.

    Such a fantastic place, highly recommended for visitors to Australia to see the diversity of the flora and fauna. My guest totally enjoyed the experience and seeing most of the animals and birds and reptiles in their natural settings. Covid may have impacted some of the exhibits but overall an awesome place even for one who lives here and has seen a lot of outdoor Australia!
