It was beautiful to see all the gorgeous koalas. It was very sad though to see the stories of how they became to the hospital. There was a cheeky one or two also. The guides are very informative and the carers are very dedicated. A wonderful place for families. It also has a coffee caravan with delicious food and drinks and gorgeous seating areas.

A wonderful little place doing a fantastic job. It's definitely worth chatting with the staff and volunteers as they are very knowledgeable and passionate. We were there for over an hour because we loved chatting with the staff, otherwise it would have maybe been 20mins. I was very impressed with the gift shop, great selection and at decent prices.

Interesting Hospital for Koalas. Several were seen in the trees rehabilitating. In there own enclosure each one has information on the wire fence regarding injuries. Names for injured Koals are named with the finders first name and area. A new hospital will be built in the near future. Free entry makes this a great place to visit.

We really enjoyed spending an hour here this morning learning about the amazing work the Koala Hospital do and quietly observing the resident koalas. We got a wonderfully warm welcome from the staff who were happy to answer any questions (though the information displayed was so clear and comprehensive that we didn’t have any!). We were amazed that the hospital is free to visit, so we gladly showed our support by buying several items from the well-stocked gift shop.

Worth a visit if in the city! Free access Plenty of Koalas - you get to read their stories. And see their cuteness. Staff/volunteers were extremely friendly, walking around and sharing fun facts, and more to each koalas story. There is a cafe and a gift shop on site. You can also donate.

This place was awesome, very educational and knowledgeable. I had a amazing time being that close to a wild rescued koala. And seeing them in there natural state. These guys do a fantastic job looking after the koalas and trying to rehabilitate and educate us all on how we can help this precious endangered species. I would highly recommend going to this attraction. Entry is free but you can donate while you are there which is a beautiful feeling.

Could I give it 6 stars ? Only because it is such a wonderful place to go. Not full of gimmicks or animals doing tricks. Just full of lovely, safe happy Koalas. And full of lovely, friendly and dedicated staff. Mostly volunteers I believe. The stories are heartbreaking but the results heart warming. The staff are so friendly and clearly they love the bears so much. Thank you for your care and loving attention. We loved our visit. Such good work being done for those dear animals.

Great place to visit. Dedicated staff do amazing work. Not government funded, so every donation welcomed. Next door to a heritage old homestead where you can browse through and sit down at the onsite cafe for a scone and a cuppa.

A wonderful spot that is free to enter and where any donations you do give go towards saving more koalas. Staff were super friendly and incredibly helpful, and loved to be asked questions (and answer them in detail). There were various koalas, including many in the trees above, but all in all I wouldn't say you'd spend more than 45 minutes here, 1 hour at a push.

Lovely visit We enjoyed our visit to the furry patients at Port Macquarie's Koala hospital. We spent about half an hour browsing through the displays and watching the koalas in the rehabilitation yards. Entry is free - but donations are gratefully accepted. This would be a great spot to bring the family!!

What a little gem of a place - well worth supporting! (Gets no government funding and relies on donations to survive). There are so many koalas recovering here, each with their own story. Museum is interesting and the volunteers are so welcoming. Yours run throughout the day. Next door Roto House offers nice walk around and gardens for a picnic.

Definitely worth visiting the koala hospital. What an amazing job all these volunteers are doing helping these precious animals. You guys are amazing!! One of the volunteers gave us a very informative tour around the hospital. It’s wonderful to see that these koalas are being well looked after.

Visitors to Port Macquarie must stop in at the unique attraction that is the Koala hospital. Take in the long term Koala residents and read their heartbreaking stories as to why they live there. Hear more about Koalas that are being rehabilitated back into the wild. Sweet little museum offers entertaining ways to learn about this native animal. Free entry so make a donation or purchase something at gift shop to show your appreciation.

Whenever you visit Port Macquarie you must visit the Koala Hospital, make a small donation and appreciate what the volunteer workers go through in protecting some of our endangered species. Well done to everyone involved in ensuring the koalas are well looked after. You all do a great service.

A great place with a very good initiative. Our little one enjoyed her time watching Koalas and we had a nice information session about Koala welfare. It was worth spending in the shop and donating for the cause. Definitely recommend a visit to this place.

Loved coming here to see the Koalas. We came and stayed in the area to look for koalas but never saw any in the wild this stay. Some gorgeous koalas. Some super sad how they got there, like Ella. The small orphaned baby joey koala was super cute too. I would come here again and visit Jade and Ella. Nice little interact stups with koala facts and mini Museum with taxidermy.

It was such a great experience to learn more about koalas, their habits, how to protect & respect them but also meet the ones injured and cared at the hospital by amazing and loving people. The entrance is free so I was really happy to buy some gifts at the shop and contribute to help them in their mission.

It's a very important place to conserve the koala population. The volunteers are doing a great job. The new "koalaseum" next to the hospital is very informative and interesting. This was my 4th visit there. It's a shame that the institution is still running only on donations. The Australian government DOES NOT support the koala hospital. Although that animal is an Aussie icon as well and must be protected like other.

Amazing experience visiting the resident koalas and learning all the facts about koalas in general. We visited first thing in the morning when the koalas are most active. We also had breakfast at the cafe on site which was lovely. Highly recommend this visit

What a special place full of amazing volunteers and beautiful, rescued koalas. Each have their own special story. Visit if you can and help support the hospital. ❤️ 🐨 ❤️

Fantastic place!! So good to see the Kaolas who are wounded, recovering or for the lifetime being in care. It's definitely important to know that these amazing animals are being cared for. It's definitely worth a visit. Would love to have lent a hand to help, if its possible would love to know.

We love the Koalas, and this little hospital for them at Port Macquarie didn’t disappoint. Many of the Koalas are being helped to get well enough so as they can be released back into the wild, however, some have been hurt so badly by cars and other injuries that they will Remain here forever. But all in all, if you love these cute little furry creatures you’ll love it. There’s a Cafe and a shop to buy some cute little gifts to help them out along with the donation box.

Lots of koalas visible in the trees and one even pacing up and down eight in front of us. A well run facility with helpful staff willing to tell us the background behind each inhabitant. Fortunately they don't show any badly injured koalas, so it was a positive, uplifting experience. And it's free!!

Great place! They take care of multiple koalas here. You can see the koalas up close. There is a nice informative part at the beginning with some funny "did you know" facts about koalas and other animals. During our visit they were feeding a koala.

Well worth a visit. Set in beautiful grounds, these amazing creatures are nursed and nurtured back into their native environment where possible. Loved my visit here, and was more than happy to buy a few gifts in the shop at the end. The volunteers are more than happy to engage and are very informative. If you're nearby, please do go!

I love Australian Volunteers culture, the Koala 🐨🐨🐨 Hospital only got 4 paid full time then like 180 volunteers to run the Koala Hospital! We bought few souvenirs and a small donation to support this lovely Koala Hospital. Every day the volunteers will do room service for the Koala and the Koala will be trained and test to ensure they fit for the Wild environment again! For the one injured, then they will be permenate residents at the Koala hospital and enjoy 5 stars service. The Koalas there looks happy to me so I give it a 5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

so sweet! much better than a zoo! you can see about 10 koalas and the volunteers will tell you all their stories, you get close to them. entry is free, it’s non profit and on donations afterwards. such a great place!

Nice place to walk and relax among the trees, it’s okay to do even on a hot day as you are quite protected from the trees making it pleasant to dwell and take in the scenery along the walk which takes around 30-40 minutes return depending on your walking pace. Easy walk though.

Saw a powerful owl! Interesting Guides along the walk who were happy to share their wealth of knowledge. Gift shop has a lovely selection of various priced gifts (for others or self!). Cafe was nice, lovely way to spend a morning.

Really loved this place, would take a good 2 hours to go round the Sea acres rainforest, the fact that you would get to see some very unique trees, and very old one at that is quite stunning. The board walk is circular and you would live close to pure nature and breath absolutely unspoiled air while being inside. The most interesting aspect is that you get to see how the Fig trees grow and some are marvelous and can impart so much education. A fantastic place and a very refreshing feeling..

The Land Of The Giants. Everything is reaching for the sky. So beautiful. Beautifully maintained, lovely staff. Cafè fabulous.

Easy walk and refreshing air with a few wild animals to spot, nice but average view of rainforest. Very short route which is a bit overpriced, they even charge $1 for one paper map after paying for tickets already. Still recommend to have a walk here, but the pricing can be fixed better.

A lovely short walk on high boardwalks. Well constructed. Gives a fantastic view of rainforest. We didn't see many animals but loved just being in nature and seeing the different trees.

We loved it, enjoyed our time by walking around, captured a blue tongue lizard, a turkey and a goanna. BUT be aware that they charge $1 for one piece of paper map/ a short introduction of animals, or at least inform customers that it cost $1 before we pay as it’s usually included in the ticket price. To be honest, this $1 paper map selling strategy sucks as people usually don’t mind to pay that $1 if it’s included in the ticket not after paid for the ticket and get charged another $1 for the paper map. Receptionist don’t inform customer either, this is quite rude.

During our visit to Port Macquarie we visited this place. Such a peaceful place. I would love to go back again. During our walk we got to meet Beautiful volunteer Mary Curtis who is an expertise about rainforest. We are soo glad we got to meet her and chat about the rainforest. Such a beautiful walk inside the rainforest. So much to learn and see about different flora and fauna. Takes 30-40mins Max to finish. Free entry and plenty of free parking outside the centre. Wish to come back soon 💜

Lovely place, we didn't see any animals however we were lucky enough to see a powerful owl which was amazing 😊

It was really busy but the staff were lovely and we enjoyed the nice gift shop. The walk itself is only 1.3kms but we really took our time so stayed out an hour, I am sure others can do it in half that. Everything looked a little dry in the forest but lots of places are suffering the same fate. Would recommend if you like nature, but its not a zoo so wildlife is hit and miss

Beautiful scones and coffee and lots of gift ideas , also looking into the rainforest while drinking your coffee!

It's been 20 years since our last visit. The location hasn't changed very much. I had my first chai latte 20 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it, I had another this visit and was pleasantly surprised that they were as good then and it was now..

Always a lovely experience here. The boardwalk is great- something new to see each time you visit. On this visit, desk staff pointed out two roosting powerful owls at walk marker 78-79. Our first time seeing them! The cafe and gift shop are also great! I purchased some stuffed animals for my grandchildren and we had some takeaway treats from the cafe: apple pie, strawberry tart, and GF rhubarb muffin(favorite).

Cute walk in the rainforest 🍃The place is modern and well maintained. The walk is super easy and very interesting to see all the different trees etc.

This is presented as a 3 star experience. Great; include this in your visit. Easy accessibility, including wheelchairs and prams. Reasonable price. Neat store and cafe. Easy grades on the boardwalk. Good interpretation. 1.4 km. Guided tours available; extended walks along the coast too. Clean toilets. This is a national park, no dogs.

Stunning views at the Lighthouse and the nearby viewpoints. The Pacific ocean looks so beautiful and the sound of the waves coupled with nice breeze makes the moments so memorable. The location is not very crowded. This is one of the must visit locations for the visitors at Port Macquarie. Good parking area available nearby, however, one may not get the slots easily.

The lighthouse is beautifully kept, startling white and on a magnificent sight with views for miles. It was well worth the walk up there and they now have seats and a great lookout platform hanging over the cliff (I wasn't crazy enough to lean over but my friends did.)

Absolutely amazing place. I love the 360 degree view of beach and the ocean. The gradiant of blue colour of sky and water looks beautiful. It was humid hot day but the wind makes me so fresh. The nearby beach are great for swimming. Limited car parks.. better find nearby off road parking.

Another perfect spot for both sunrises and sunsets. It does get a little crowded, though there is always space to set up a picnic. Very limited parking, so make sure you beat the crowds if you're interested in getting there for the sunset

This is a beautiful spot to watch the sunset. There is a high mound located next to the lighthouse, which makes it great for taking group photos. If you choose a good angle, you can even capture the entire moon or sun in your picture.

Amazing views great for a simple drive round or you can hop out and wonder around, their is even a walk down to lighthouse beach (steep with stairs). Just be aware it can get busy with cars and parking can be tricky if lots of people are there.

We went here to see Whales🐋 and we were not disappointed. I have never seen some many Whales breaching and blowing. Great bench seats available to just sit and watch the view we sat there for a couple of hours just enjoying the Whales. I just wish I could click my camera fast enough to catch the Whales breaching.

A good spot to visit in Port Macquarie. Good views on both sides. You may see whales during migration season. Parking is limited. I went during a winter Sunday morning and parking was already full.

Beautiful location for sunrise - sunset, free parking, awesome ocean view, more than 100 years old lighthouse. Sitting area for picnic & food. Drinks allowed here too. Nice walk around beach.

A beautiful spot with a magnificent view of two beaches on your left and right. If you come during whale migration season you will definitely see whales. I went with my wife mid June and we saw quite a few, don't forget to bring your binoculars!

Historic lighthouse with amazing views. South you can see all the way to Dunbogan including the large mountain called North Brother. There is a photograph with names of all points of interest on the horizon, however it is badly faded and only the names are easily read. It is a nature's wonderland of coastal walks and tropical vibes.

The Tacking Point Lighthouse is an amazing lookout point, with breathtaking views. Constructed in 1879 and is one of the oldest lighthouses in New South Wales. Beautiful views of the Lighthouse Beach and the Pacific Ocean. Parking is free with limited spots, but usually, it's not crowded. Recommended.

Great views over the ocean and nearby beaches, including Lighthouse Beach. Unfortunately the lighthouse itself cannot be visited but the views are spectacular from the grounds of the lighthouse.

Lovely spot on what feels like being on top of the world. Lucky enough to see a sea turtle out in the waves and a beautiful view down the beach with access via stairs as well. Decent amount of parking too

Such a fancy place, much more beautiful than the lighthouse I visited ever! Very worth to spend a a lot of time here to enjoy the views

A very cute lighthouse. I walked, but it is easily accessible by car/bike. A couple of nice beaches nearby if you fancy a dip.

Words can't describe the beauty of this place. Do come here at sunset time. Carry a book with you and enjoy in peace

No words to describe the absolute beauty of this place, one of the finest beaches in Australia. Amazing place to watch the sunset.

Definitely worth a visit to pick cherries, tomatoes and have an amazing breakfast in their cafe. They serve lovely scones with a variety . Our little one had a great experience collecting the strawberries. It is safe and very accessible place. We even loved their jams. Definitely worth a visit.

Had great fun picking strawberries, strawberries were absolutely delicious. Shelf Life is very less (maybe a day or two), so if you pick a lot of strawberries like me make sure you finish everything.

We were very lucky to have found this little gem during our visit to Port Macquarie. It was such a fun activity for the whole family. Service is friendly and there’s lots of strawberries to pick your own from. A few things to note if you go here, take a container to transport your strawberries. You can buy a box for a $1 but if I had the opportunity I’d have packed mine in a large plastic container. They sell chocolate sauce near the counter for the strawberries. Note that this one has a hint of Orange oil so if you’re not fan it might not be a great purchase. Not sure if we just grabbed the orange flavour one and if they also offer a clean one. Lots of jams and chutney to choose from. We will visit again if we come to Port Macquarie.

We had a blast at Ricardoes Tomatoes! After a delicious breakfast of scones and banana bread we collected our buckets and headed out to pick strawberries. The kids were so pleased with themselves when they spied the perfect berry to pick! The range of sweet and savoury treats was wonderful, we took home an armful of delicious things to try! The staff were so welcoming and cheerful, so glad we stopped in here after seeing the sign on the highway the day before.

We had loads of fun here and picked some delicious strawberries! It's much more expensive than the supermarket, but it's fresher, it supports a local business, and it's a fun activity to do (especially with little ones)!

Family had a fabulous time at Ricardo’s picking strawberries! Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like it’s cheaper than Woolworths, but it is a bit of fun to walk around a pick strawberries straight from the plants. Think the normal price is $20 kilo. There is also a shop at Ricardoes where you can pickup all kinds of produce. We grabbed cherry tomatoes. That said, would happily pop back again. The strawberries were delicious!!!

Great Strawberries picking time! Best parts: place is undercover, dry (no dirty shoes) and entry is FREE! We picked approx 2 kgs of strawberries (1 small bucket) and bought many strawberry jams to give away (each is $8). There are 4 large sheds to pick up strawberries. There is a shop and restaurant selling various products. Restaurant was too busy so we did not end up eating there (due to covid we are avoiding crowded indoor place). Strawberries were not large (not as large as when you bought at supermarket), but surprisingly very sweet. Very happy with them, fresh and sweet! We are hoping the place would provide more outdoor seating in the future. Overall we had great fun and we will definitely come back again!

Super cute little tomato & strawberry farm. Loved picking our own strawberries and learning how they grow hydroponically. Lots of delicious jams, relishes, sauces and more available in the little store. Our small bowl of strawberries cost quadruple what we pay at home in QLD but that’s the cost of being a tourist. Still worth the visit whilst on holidays.

What a fantastic experience picking our own strawberries. They were without a doubt the beat strawberries Ive ever had. Hubby had a latte and I had a chai latte and they were really nice great coffee and the scones were fabulous. We had date and pumpkin ones. Highly recommend anyone passing through to stop in. We have decided that it will be our go to place whenever we are travelling to and from Sydney now for fresh strawberries as car snacks, and brunch!

Amazing experience here picking our own fresh strawberries. Delicious and tasty produce! We loved the cafe too, great coffee and the yummiest strawberry jam and cream scones. Tomato bruschetta was so good too! We took home Ricardo’s tomato basil chilli jam and soup - incredible!!

Amazing! Even though we visited at the end of the holidays and the strawberries were scarce we still filled our buckets and had a great time. I bought the small tomato’s and relish and jam also. So many delicious goodies !

Terrific cafe with a great selection. Also, some tomato-based menu items - they looked very good. I didn't enjoy the Greek salad that was served with the calamari. It was mostly lettuce, and proper Greek salads don't have any lettuce. The mushrooms and tomatoes with Turkish bread were fabulous. They also sell a wide selection of jams, sauces, chutneys as well as tomatoes and strawberries.

Great fun picking strawberries, a big variety of goods excellent coffee and the strawberries are delicious. Bern here twice now and never disappointed

Ricardoes strawberry picking experience was fun. We roughly spent about an hour there. It's just under a 20-minute drive from Port Macquarie. The scones with jam and cream were very tasty. There are 4 different flavours of scones. Dogs are allowed on the property but not inside the cafe/store/strawberry picking area.

Great coffee, & scones with jam & cream. Beautiful tomatoes, & strawberries you pick yourself.

Very good experience on hydroponics strawberry picking. Also the lettuce is very sweet and good. Strawberry is a little bit pricey per kg in the 1st feeling but they don't charge entry fee. It is pretty fair price. Remember don't pick and try on the spot to support the local business.

The family enjoyed our trip to Ricardo's tomatos to pick our own strawberry's. Afterwards we selected some local produce and had morning tea. Cost for morning tea was $38 for 3 people.

Billabong Zoo was a pleasant visit. The Zoo is obviously well cared for and despite being on the small side obviously is well loved. The Gardens are beautiful and must take a lot of work to be cared for. Obviously all private zoos struggle for money and this is evident at Billabong Zoo as some of the Aviary’s are quite outdated and the encounters basic, would love to see more of a focus on providing unique encounters and more in-depth talks from the Keepers. Government grant for this Zoo would go a long way I’m sure! Will be very keen to revisit when the night zoo becomes available if well executed.

Visited the zoo last Saturday - highly recommend as an outing for adults as well as children - lots to see in an easy walk around the many enclosures. Friendly knowledgeable staff willing to answer any questions about the various exhibits. Great day out.

Absolutely loved the zoo. The wombat enclosure rocks as you can see them in their natural habitat. Shame that the big cats were out of sight but that happens. The raptors were awesome, one of my favourites and of course the little penguins put on a show for us thanks you're amazing

The zoo is a great cost effective day out for the family. The kids park is great as you can burn the little one’s energy off. Just a few things to note, we noticed that the front reception man was lovely to deal with, however it’s evident that he isn’t big on kids as they touch all the toys for sale. His way of expressing to them not to touch should be assessed. Maybe going over and engaging with them he would get a better outcome from them. The front entrance has an entry and an exit only sign but people just head to the exit to enter and it was causing unnecessary communication from the staff to the customer. We think a small gate at the exit that only opens one way would fix that issue for them. The food was great at the cafe. There seems to be a bit of chef verses front of house attitude, the chef seemed to use her position over the juniors. We requested some tartare sauce, we were told $2.50. Now we don’t mind paying for anything but given all we needed was a little bit it was a bit hefty since we just paid $180 in food and drinks. We didn’t even use enough to make it lower than the rim of the ramekin we were supplied. May we suggest that you offer a small portion of sauce or if people would like to pay for a large portion for $2.50. Or ask the customer at the counter if they would like any sauces with the salt and pepper squid? We had the beef brisket burger it was delicious. The onion rings were yummy also. We will be back.

This is a small little zoo in port macquarie, nsw. The zoo is not very big, and it doesn't have alot of animals attraction like other big zoo. But its not too bad, and they do have alot of koalas and kangaroos. I think, I'm sure the kids would love it. But If you happen to be there with your kids and family, be sure to check out the zoo. 😊 animals

Great place to take your time and wander around freely. Had some good fun with some of the bird enclosures that talk back to you! Didn't get to see the crocodile or the Lion, and most of the kangaroos were already well fed by the afternoon. Recommend attending earlier than mid afternoon as the sun was behind most of the animals and made it difficult to see some of them through the glass.

Billabong Zoo Mothers Day Meerkat experience. My girls bought me a Meerkat encounter for Mothers Day. Wow..... they are so cute and adorable. Great experience, just not long enough. Billabong Zoo itself was great. Staff are friendly and helpful. The oldest daughter paid $10 to hold one of the snakes and take pictures of while on her. While waiting for my Meerkat encounter, we sat at the cafe and ordered a little to eat and drink. All in all, it was a nice family day out.

Good Experience of Kangaroo. Billabong Zoo is a popular wildlife park located in Port Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia. It's known for its diverse range of animals and offers various interactive experiences, including feeding sessions, animal encounters, and educational programs. The zoo focuses on conservation and provides visitors with the opportunity to learn about and engage with various species, including koalas, kangaroos, reptiles, and more.

Great zoo. Medium-sized but has a wide variety of animals, including non-indigenous ones. Staff give regular talks on certain animals - these are very interesting and educational. The animals are clearly well treated and the staff are very knowledgeable and caring about them. Highlight: personally feeding the kangaroos and wallabies.

Really enjoyed our time here! All up spent roughly 6 hours even though it’s not necessarily a huge zoo. I was lucky enough to do 4 of the animal encounters and they were brilliant. The crowd wasn’t too busy which was perfect (I can’t imagine peak holiday times would be too enjoyable). The vibe from the staff was pretty happy, chill and friendly - I really liked it. There were a few news areas being built and some things not running which makes sense given Covid but still an awesome time.

Very good zoo, staff takes good care of the animals and has a lot of patience doing their duties. The zoo is clean. (It was hard finding hand sanitisers around the kangaroo's feeding area, but it was pretty hectic on that day) Zoo is kids friendly and family friendly. Overall, we had fun there

Lovely little zoo! Lots to see and do. They always have a nice schedule of events/ nature talks, many of which allow you to interact with the animals. Love that they take in injured wildlife.

I loved the zoo it is really good place to visit on the weekend, it takes 2-3 hours in total to discover and see all the animals, I really liked Shrek, you have to see him. And make sure to hand feed the wallabies, they are adorable. There are toilets, cafe and icecream place

Great experience for the children. Lots to see and do including feeding the wallabies and wallaroos. Staff do presentations on the different animals at timely intervals, so great learning experience.

What a great place - absolutely recommend visiting. Very warm welcome and immensely enjoyable seeing a wide range of animals without having to walk for miles and miles. The koala bears are very cute and the crocodile was fascinating. Make sure you check the board for activities like feeding times etc. There is a lot of verity so plenty to see including big cats.

This has been our favourite zoo experience in Australia so far! On our first visit, we paid for the red panda experience and definitely do not regret it, the red pandas were so gentle and you can tell they were greatly looked after. On our second visit, we took part in the marmoset experience and it absolutely made our holiday! You can tell the staff are very dedicated to the animals welfare, and that their hard work goes towards a great cause. We highly recommend you stop by when you go to Port Macquarie!

It is an absolute MUST to stop here for a good half a day at a minimum! The talks are fantastic and the range of wildlife there is frankly amazing. If you're in the Port Macquarie area do yourself a favour and visit here!!

We've been to plenty of wildlife parks in Australia. We liked this one. A good size for a couple of hours/half a day. The underground wombat viewing room was a highlight, as was the lions. The grounds were well maintained and in good condition. Was not too busy on New Years Day.

Great afternoon out for relaxing and unwinding. Loved the smoked salmon bagel for lunch. Snow leopard talk a real treat. Wasn't too crowded and good to see the quality of the terrain and exhibits.

Amazing and most hospitable employees. Shout out to Lionel from reception, Brooke and Mark from Snow Leopard enclosure. Kangaroo feed can be purchased at three packs for $5. Kangaroos will actively hop to you for the snack! Animals look healthy, happy and lively - a rare sight in many zoos where animals are usually asleep/looked bored/looked sad. There are multiple animal talks from morning till about 230pm. Be sure to be there early. Keepers are extremely knowledgeable and are more than happy to answer your questions. 10/10 recommend. No regrets visiting. Went on a weekday with absolutely no crowd, such an enjoyable and peaceful visit. You can purchase tickets in advance or do walk ins.

Nice place to walk and relax among the trees, it’s okay to do even on a hot day as you are quite protected from the trees making it pleasant to dwell and take in the scenery along the walk which takes around 30-40 minutes return depending on your walking pace. Easy walk though.

Saw a powerful owl! Interesting Guides along the walk who were happy to share their wealth of knowledge. Gift shop has a lovely selection of various priced gifts (for others or self!). Cafe was nice, lovely way to spend a morning.
