Found this place on google while looking for things to do in port Macquarie to take a break from long drive. Great range of animals. Lions were a trip, Snow Leopard is gorgeous. Staff were friendly and gave a few facts on some of the animals. Was impressed with the cost of entry. Only criticism is we were hungry and kitchen was closed before 2.30. Loved the covid-19 safety practises, very grateful for that

A colleague and I took a disability client to this wonderful place today and we had a blast. Very educational despite keeper talks being cancelled due to Covid19. The service from staff was incredible. One keeper got a treat to encourage the lion to come to the fence for the client to see. Without prompt. Which just made the client's day. While another keeper stopped their work to help us enter the koala area with had been temporarily obstructed. Once again, without us asking. The only issue we ran into was the difficulty to use the wheelchair. While we could get around the zoo, we found many uneven areas or a couple of steep slopes which my stronger colleague needed to get the chair past. This would have been too difficult for me to do myself without the client either exiting the wheelchair or missing an exhibit. The pathways existing are sound, they just need some maintenance. All in all, was a wonderful day out and we look forward to visiting this establishment again in the future.
Beautiful zoo experience. Staff knowledgeable and friendly. Great selection and animals are well looked after. We enjoyed meeting the lions and being able to feed some wallabies. We went on a rainy/drizzly day and still had a great time!
It was a wonderful day out even though a little expensive. The animals are well looked after and are in good condition. The grounds have recovered well from the floods so it wasn't a problem walking around the exhibits. Recommend taking your children a lot to be learnt.
The zoo was very clean and the animals were healthy. Service was great but because of covid the zoo talks were off but they had talks. Only criticism is the food is quite bland
A very beautiful well-maintained park on level ground with good access for all abilities. Friendly, interactive and knowledgeable staff. And of course being up close and personal with a wide range of animals was a special experience. Two hours - tops!
Although there were no presentations or keeper talks due to covid, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at the billabong zoo. You can still book and pay for the "encounters", but that didn't seem necessary for a good time. You can get up really close to all the animals, we especially enjoyed the fairy penguins, snow leopard, red panda, lions and cheetahs. You may need to do a few loops to see the animals in action but I he park is very manageable. We spent a little over two hours here and that was enough.
A great little zoo. Good facilities and great exhibits and enclosures. The best thing is the way you can see most of the animals even when not 'out and about' due to the design of the enclosures.
