They also have a wonderful bird of prey show. Other shows include your chance to learn about Australian snakes, kangaroos, lorrikeets, platypus and tasmanian devils.
Facilities
There is suitable access and facilities for the disabled, including parking. BBQ facilities are also available, or you can just enjoy a coffee or a complete meal at the in their covered courtyard, with koalas in full view.
Location
