My husband and I visited the Wildlife Park on a couple of occasions during our stay on the island. Firstly, the wildlife park is VERY small. VERY. Smaller than you imagine. But it does house some true Australian wildlife gems including koalas, wombats, wallabies and dingoes. Although the wildlife park is very average, the zoo keeper is full of knowledge.... More

Loved it - the animals were great, there was a nice selection and they were all Australian, so was nice to see us being presented to the world in this way. The zoo was small, only taking about 15 minutes to walk around, but the animals were well looked after and the venue was excellent, keeping with the natural setting... More

This was a short walk from Beach Club. It is small but has some lovely animals and there are tours and feedings at various times of the day. You can also cuddle a koala which is what we chose to do. We enjoyed returning over several days.

This is a "little" zoo. We didn't do the picture with the koalas but I'm sure that would be a highlight for children. There are not many animals and their space seems very limited. Our entry fee did provide us with unlimited access so we did go two days in a row.

I had a visitor from the UK so it was ideal to go here and see Australian Fauna and to cuddle a koala.

Such awesome experience to have breakfast with the koalas and my daughter got to pat a Koala. I think the turtle enclosure needs some work. The VIP pass means to can visit everyday if you wish.

$90 for 2 adults for breakfast and entry into the park is just too expensive even though we did do it, but only because we would have had a distraught 2 year old on our hands had we not!.

My daughter wanted to cuddle a koala...she did for 2 minutes after a very long wait. Very small area, as though it's an after thought. It can hardly be called a park, more like a back garden. As with everything on Hamilton island it's way overpriced and grubby.
