Awesome day!

My family and I had the best time! We were also fortunate enough on the safari bus to have the animals come SUPER close! Awesome experience. A lot of walking, so make sure to wear comfy shoes and pack a yummy picnic as there is a nice part in the zoo to sit and enjoy lunch.

Absolutely wonderful best school holiday day out.

Fantastic kids entry is free during the school holidays makes a very affordable day out. We had a picnic under the shady trees near the kids play ground. The safari tour is a must and absolutely brilliant you are really transported to the plains of Africa with a no cages experience seeing so many magnificent animals roaming.

It's great that we can see animals in the wild in suburbia

Great job guys. I was especially impressed with the tour through the different zones and to see those animals in there natural habitat was awesome. Also very impressed to see that you are working with their countries of origin to help fight extinction. We bought a large cheetah from the shop which we named Charlie who now lives on our bed in our caravan and will travel around Australia with us. Probably the only downside would be the very high cost of the food in your restaurant. We did have coffee and a muffin which I had to heat in the microwave myself (very strange) but there are lots of people who wouldn't be able to afford that luxury. Thanks for an enjoyable half a day out.
