āGood place to visit if you want to meet some of Australian Wildlife. Place is clean and well maintained. Check the show schedules, not to be missed. There is a cafe on-site if you need a quick bite. Also feel free to bring your own home cooked and enjoy it with your family at the picnic area provided. Will surely visit this place again.ā ā Izwan R.
