Tips for a great visit

Entry into the park is recommended before 2.00pm, if you would like to see and do everything. To make the most of your experience and enjoy everything on offer, you should allow 3 hours minimum.

Don't forget to bring your camera!

The park is well shaded, and there are various undercover areas around the park, however, please note that the park is predominantly an outdoors environment, so we encourage you to prepare for your visit, according to the weather forecast. If you get caught short, ponchos, hats, sunglasses and sunscreen are available for purchase in the Souvenir Shop.

Upon arrival, you will be given a park map. We encourage you to follow the map around the park, so as not to miss anything. Directional maps and signage can be found all around the park.

The park is divided into 6 main sections: (in order, as you make your way around the park):

  • North East: the animals and plants in this section represent the tropical part of our fascinating country. Complete with a peaceful walk-through aviary, this section is the start of your relaxing journey around the park.
  • Kangaroo Enclosure: this spacious and relaxing exhibit runs through the middle of the park. Here you are able to engage with a variety of species of kangaroos and wallabies. Kangaroo food is provided here.
  • South West: the animals and plants in this section represent our very own part of Australia. Here you will see many species that are found locally around Perth, and the South West. You will see some amazing bird life in the walk-through aviary. Don't forget to have some photos taken with the spectacular Australian Grass Trees.
  • Molly's Farm: this is where some of our most cheeky animals reside! Get up close and personal with a variety of friendly animals in the barns, and then take a walk through the paddocks to meet some of the larger animals, such as the ostrich and buffalo. Animal food is provided here.
  • North: the animals and plants in this section represent Australia's most arid region. Embark on a journey of red, rocky landscapes, sounds of Kookaburra calls and balmy outback atmosphere.
  • South East: the animals and plants in this section represent the diversity of the coastal, forest and mountainous areas in Australia's south east corner. There is an aromatic scent of Eucalyptus in this section.

Hint: Many enclosures around the park house more than one species so remember to look carefully - top and bottom, left and right!

Should you wish to leave the park and return later on the same day, please ask the staff in the souvenir shop for a pass-out stamp. Showing a receipt will not suffice.
