Wildlife Experiences
With your Wildlife Dome Entry option, wander through our wildlife park at your own pace and visit the extensive range of native Australian animals on display. You can also enjoy a number of free interactive wildlife shows and presentations, including feeding tours, koala & mammal talks, and reptile presentations.
Our Small Bird Aviary and Rainforest Aviary are the perfect opportunities to view some of our birds up close, or you can take a seat and watch as our larger birds fly freely around the Dome. Meet our friendly Red-Legged Pademelons in the Wallaby Walk, or observe the different lizards on display in the Lizard Lounge.
Cockatoo Corner is the home of our resident cockatoos – Jo Jo, Holly and Willow – whilst Koala Kingdom is the perfect place to see our koalas, Nellie and Micro.
