    A fantastic place with a great variety of wildlife and awesome experiences (check to see whether all still running - most of them seem to be). The crocodiles are incredible and awesome. $2 for a bag of kangaroo feed, but the Roos were either too hot, too full or too tired, so they didn't have much appetite, although I guess it depends on which one you choose. A Cafe on site, ample parking and easy location. You get a voucher to go back to the park within five days of initial entry - terrific!

    Breakfast with the Birds...what can I say! 10/10 experience. I bought the tickets as a surprise for my girlfriend, and we both loved it. You get 15 minutes to explore the entry exhibits before starting breakfast with birds and koalas around you. Regarding the breakfast, clearly they've read previous criticism of not enough quantity as there was plenty...scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, crepes, beans, fruit, and a muffin. Plus a range of drinks :) it was delicious. During the breakfast staff went around to the different tables and introduced us to some of their birds, allowing us to hold them with our arms, or have them perch on our shoulders, and take photos. They also gave us information about the birds. Afterwards we got to go and see the koalas up-front, and as part of the package got 20% off the photos with the koala so we have those as a little memory of our visit! The rest of the exhibits are fantastic, with lots to see - wallabies, roos, crocodiles, koalas, birds, cassowaries...all wonderful. Will probably head back tomorrow for a little more!

    Absolutely fantastic. Not a bad word to say about it. From the Breakfast with the Birds, Swimming with the Salties & the Nocturnal Wildlife experience, it was an amazing place to visit. Shout out to Nicole & Kasey for making it a visit to remember. Thank you very much.

    Lots to explore. Really cool aviary. Lots of friendly kangaroos. Breakfast with the birds was really fun, but expensive.

    Honestly the best zoo/sanctuary I've been to. Didn't really have any interest in going here, but saw they had a nocturnal animals tour so decided to book it just for fun. Tour was amazing and decided we had to come back again the next morning to see the rest of the animals. Lovely and very knowledgeable people, a huge range of native Australian animals and a stunning zoo overall. Enclosures are huge with tons of room for animals to move around and keep entertained. An underrated treasure for anybody visiting Port Douglas!
