Great activity if you... - Great activity if you haven’t seen any wildlife via your own hikes, drives or animal specific tours. You get to see most of the Australian animals.

Great spot to see the Northern wildlife - Spent a lovely 2-3 hrs here catching up with all the onsite presentations from the crocodiles through to the birds in the open cafe area

A surprise! Great bird and wildlife interactions and friendly staff! - We were not expecting such a great place and experience. We bought tickets to kill some time while seeing local wildlife. That said we really loved all of the animal and bird interaction, friendly staff and such a huge variety of birds and wildlife. We loved it!!

Highly recommend this Habitat - What a fabulous place. The set up is easy to get around and the birds and other animals are so interactive. We did the breakfast with the birds experience and it was fantastic. You not only get to have the birds sit on you but you get to see the koalas close up. Great place.

Good wildlife adventure - The visit enabled us to have close up and personal interaction with the wallabies (actually got to feed them). The bird aviary had beautiful species and the highlight for me was the adorable koala, who was active and moving around. It’s a nice,chill setting to see some of Australia’s u pique animals.

Great tour! - We had a great visit to the Wildlife Habitat! We did a private tour and were treated to a great amount of information on each animal (ranging from facts about the species to individual traits about each animals, which made the tour personable and fun). The tour guide Shanon and Nikita (in training) were both amazing and exhibited a lot of passion for their work. I enjoyed seeing the veterinary center and appreciated hearing their plans for expansion. All their animals appeared to be well cared for and they had very appropriate boundaries with handling. Overall, a fun visit to see Australian wildlife up close.

Awesome 👌 - Staff were all friendly and helpful. The young French guy was very knowledgeable and helpful on the Swim With a Saltie experience, which was amazing, a must do.. The white cheeky cockatoo kept following me lol, then at one stage landed on my shoulder, so I had to take a selfie, some staff said it could of been cause the bright colourful top I had on.. It didn't bother me as I grew up with paps and birds, it was funny.. Next time, I'd do the breakfast with the boys as that looked like a good experience too.. The whole establishment looks very well run and just loved the way it was set out.. Loved how we could feed the kangaroos and turtles.. It was a fun day out..

Excellent way of experiencing the wildlife of the area - Excellent way of seeing animals near and even feeding them. A little tight for the nimals, though. There are also possibilities for pictures holding them and other activities. Carer talks also good. And some playful birds around

fun at the habitat. - The staff are very friendly. It is a great place to go to if you like hands on places. When I went one of the staff members greeted me like a childhood friend because I came so often. I reccomend it for anyone from goign as a family to going solo.

Swim with Salties so worth it! - It was a great day out. The bird aviary was amazing. Felt like we were walking through Jurassic Park 3, but with slightly smaller flying creatures ;) The zoo itself was quite a small zoo, but had a range of animals. We did the Swim with the Salties which was an amazing experience! You do get up close to them in the viewing area, but being in the water is another level. The crocs came right up to the glass and it was amazing being that close but surviving the encounter. The staff were amazing with our booking as well, as we had booked separate sessions because we had young children with us, and they made the whole experience better than we expected. The only small thing is there is only toilets at the front area, and none towards the back, which meant there were several trips back to the beginning with our youngs ones before we had to get back and start in the other areas we hadn't been to yet, but overall, amazing place and experience!
