Modestly sized, you'll see many of Australia's animals and pet a few. The wombat lookes sedated and poses for pics all day while being held by a employee. Kangaroos everywhere, you can feed them as many pellets as they'll take, though they ask you not to over feed the animals. Overall a nice way to spend a few hours, a... More

I love that the children get to pet as many kangaroos as they can be bothered with as well as the farming show, the getting to pat the wombat and other animals. A great place to bring visitors as well.

There is a very welcoming and relaxed feeling at this park. to ask questions about everything and to touch the animals where appropriate. We started off seeing the "Meet the Wombat" show - which was actually a really fun walkabout with lots if different animals with handlers - including the wombat, a possum, a snake, some lizards and numerous birds....

My partner and I recently visited Caversham Wildlife Park. Being so close to these animals and in a relaxed setting was a perfect way for us to see some of Australia's famous wildlife firsthand. I also learned quit a bit from there volunteers. I was not expecting to be able to touch a kangaroo, but it was an absolute thrill.... More

Visiting Australia wouldn't be fair if you didn't get a chance to meet their special faunas. Kangaroo, Koala and Wombat are three of the many faunas that you can find in Australia. And when we talk about visiting Perth, Caversham Wildlife Park is the best place to experience the nature of Australia. You can walk around the park and get... More

This is a brilliant place to take young children as they can safely get close to the animals and feed them from the supply of food stored in bins around the park. The delight for many of the children was that they could roam amongst the animals without the need for an adult hanging on to them. Not a place... More
