Such a beautiful wildlife park with family. Specially good on days which is hot but not humid, has a breezy air. The tractor ride is great. Kids would love friendly animals. Did someone say it has kids splash pool area. It’s so great fun for kids & also the cafeteria has smooth potato fries.

We had better expectations and believe there is way more potential. Overall we had the impression it was a bit pricey for what it is. But then you really don't have many other wildlife parks around.. For us, the splash park is a huge miss because instead of enjoying the animals and learn about them, the focus is shifted towards the splash park and you cannot really say no to the kids when they want to go there on a hot summer night.. If the splash park was not there then you'd spend more time with the animals and the operator would also care for the animals even more. There is a train that runs with a few seating cars (rather it's a tractor that is towing the seating cars). So for whatever time it goes we aimed to be at the spot but then we got there to see it's all full and we need to wait for another round.. basically no notice or explanation to allow us to plan for it... this is disappointing. Be prepared for mud and make sure you wear shoes for walking in mud!! Otherwise the animals seem to have sufficient space and freedom to Wonder around which is great! Cheers

Really well looked after, great for kids with baby animal feeding and water splash area. Great to just walk around and enjoy the wildlife.

Great family fun day out. Arrived early before the crowds. A beautiful day. Kids loved getting up close to hand feeding the the animals. Definitely recommend this place if you are heading to the Port Stephens/Nelsons bay area.

Loved it! What an excellent little farm. More shaded seating would be great. There wasn't a seat left. Would definitely bring a picnic blanket etc. next time.

Good park, hands on not a great deal of animals but more than enough, the water play and playground are awesome. The biggest surprise of the day was the food an amazing ham and salad sandwich we had made fresh was really really good!
