• 2Waste a lot of time and inflexible schedules

  Waste quite sometime to circle around and pick up guests from all different hotels. We start at 8:20, get to the park at around 9:30. We had a breakfast tour, breakfast start around 9:45. Park opens at 8:30. When I try to get food to feed crocs it all sold out (park staff said you need to come early to get them). The cruise time is 10:30, return at 1:30. If I do it again, I would take a Uber to the park before 9 and buy ticket myself at the entries or online. (more flexible on what type of activities to do and cruise times can choose). Park closes at 4:30.

• 5Great experience

  This was excellent, the breakfast was very generous (cooked breakfast, fruit salad, croissant, juice, coffee). More importantly we had a koala companion resting in a tree nearby! The keeper told us about her and answered any questions, and we were able to get lots of pictures and give the koala a good scritch. It didn't seem like the area would get too busy as they limit the number of people having breakfast with the koala. We then explored the park which was great, the shows were informative and entertaining, and we could hand feed kangaroos and wallabies! The animals looked well cared for and they talked about ethics too. We appreciated the sense of humour of the staff giving the performances and this same humour could be found in the exhibit signs talking about drop bears and the emu war.

• 5Everything and More!!!

  This was a great experience. We had a delicious breakfast and we were in a private sitting area where they brought out the sweetest Koala. You could go up and take pictures and pet it gently. The lady who took care of the Koala was happy to snap a picture for you. They gave you plenty of time and were very professional and nice during the experience. The park with the boat and the crocodiles was fascinating. There were animals at every turn. It was a VERY easy walk throughout the park and you could take your time as you made the loops. There were benches to sit on and for people who have walking concerns this, I don't think this would be an issue. There was a place to eat that served good food at very reasonable prices and a nice covered area where you could sit, eat and relax. A fun day for sure!!
