About
Quick facts: Over 130 species of Australian animals live here, including kangaroos, koalas, and emus. Visitors can walk freely among the kangaroos in an open space of 35 hectares.
Highlights: You can cuddle a koala and feel its soft, warm fur, one of the few places in South Australia where this is allowed. The kangaroos come to you looking for food, and you can feed them by hand as they touch your palm with their soft noses.
Insider tips
- Get feed bags for the kangaroos at the entrance, they cost only 2 AUD and the animals love them more than regular food.
- Go to the koala area first at 11:00 when the cuddle sessions begin to avoid long lines.
- Wear closed-toe shoes because the terrain is hilly and can get slippery after rain.
- Keep your bag tightly closed, emus are curious and try to pull things out with their beaks.
