What to expect
You'll start with a lagoon cruise where keepers demonstrate feeding techniques whilst explaining croc behaviour and ecology. Back on land, wander through open paddocks to interact with grazing kangaroos and wallabies—they're accustomed to visitors and genuinely approachable. The park schedules keeper talks every hour or so covering different species; these are pitched at curious adults rather than screaming kids, so expect actual information. Between sessions, explore enclosures housing snakes, quolls and the park's resident cassowary. Pace is relaxed; there's no rushing between attractions.
Good to know
Bring sun protection and a hat—the park is largely open with limited shade. Food and drinks aren't included, though there's a cafe on-site. Souvenir photos with animals are available but cost extra. Infants can sit on laps or use prams. Wear sturdy walking shoes for uneven ground.
