Our unique, award-winning attraction combines state-of-the-art
design with stunning, authentic theming to recreate the iconic
habitats of Australia.
With a wide variety of initimate indoor and expansive outdoor
enclosures, including Koala Encounters on the rooftop and
the huge Kangaroo Walk-About on the middle
level, there is so, so much more than at first meets the eye. We
know you'll be VERY surprised at how big we are and how much there
is to see here. Explore all of our habitat zones by clicking

What Else Will I Find Inside?
Heaps! We have an extensive schedule of feeds,
talks and shows taking place every day, meaning there's always
something happening, no matter when you visit.
In addition to the regular activity schedule we also have
keepers and interactive staff roaming the attraction throughout the
day, sometimes with animals that aren't normally on display.
Get Closer, Go Behind the Scenes or Dine with Koalas!
In the the Koala Encounters area on the
stunning rooftop, guests can get up close and intimate with some of
our koalas. What's more, each day there are koalas on 'patting
duty', meaning guests can even touch some of our cuddly
friends.
For the ultimate animal encounter, there's the amazing Koala
Breakfast experience, which takes place weekend mornings
throughout the year. There's also our famous Behind the
Scenes tours, where guests can find out more about what goes on
in our back of house areas.
Cafe and Gift Shop
Also in the Koala Encounters rooftop zone is our relaxing cafe
area. Surrounded by koalas, finches, parrots and doves, and looking
out over the Kangaroo Walk-About enclosure,
guests can kick back in the sunshine and enjoy a range of hot and
cold drinks and snacks.
Our large gift shop stocks a wide range of quality merchandise
and cold drinks.
