Enjoyable zoo visit, easy to walk around, nice way to spend the day
The booking process was straightforward. Parking onsite was easy to find. Unfortunately, I couldn't get any mobile phone reception when I was there, so keep in mind that if you visit, there is likely no data/wifi access. My phone reception returned afterwards once I was already a few km away from the area. Entry was straightforward. The reception staff were friendly. You are given a map to help explore the zoo with clear information about the daily shows and there is good signage around, so that helped make navigating easy. I felt that the food portion was small for the price though. The animals were mostly all easy to view and walking between each of them wasn't far at all so it was a nice easy walk to view the whole area. Overall, it was a nice experience, and upon entry, you are advised that general admission covers 3 days entry so you can return tomorrow and the day after too!
The most amazing crocodile and snake show. The river boat was amazing

Unreal family adventure- staff were amazing, return for sure
Wonderful family day out, staff were amazing. Fun had by all - best part was the feeding of animals and crocodiles show. Although it did have us sitting on the edge of our seats, goodness they are amazing to do what they do everyday. Would love to learn more about the other users if the business
