Discover an abundance of native species and wander among the free-ranging wildlife in their natural habitat as you explore the park and follow the self-discovery routes. Discover the vibrant wetlands that are home to pelicans, cormorants, and other waterfowl. See wallabies, Tasmanian devils, emus, kangaroos, and more!
Choose your Koala Experience
Visit Australia’s famous koala up close! The “close-up” experience, which lets you get up up and personal with one of the park’s tiniest residents while learning about them, is included in the admission price. You can have a professional photo taken while holding a koala for an extra charge (no advance reservation is necessary). The park reserves the right to decide whether koala encounters are available.
Do so much more
The interactive keeper talks are a fantastic way to learn about the animals and see them in action. You may witness nocturnal species, tiny mammals, and reptiles at the Ocean to Outback Interpretive Centre while learning about the varied ecosystems of South Australia.
