Had a more family feel to it enjoyed Lone Pine more than the Steve Irwin Zoo, the staff were very approachable and informative.

We don't get many kangaroos in London so to be able to get so close to these amazing animals and hand feed them was awesome. The koalas are pretty special too, you can hug one for a fee. There is so much on offer here. Loads to see and do. We spent 5 hours there, 4 adults and 2 kids... More

This attraction is excellent, the price may be a litle high to some, but I think it is worth it, holding Koala's, or a crocodile, snake, bird of prey (this had to pay for seperate but had to be bought :) ) and the talks that were given, the keepers really knew what they were talking about and was intersting...

Smelly n not well maintained. Not much is going on in the park. There is much other similar place where you can cuddle a koala.

Love it! Lots of animals and demonstrations going on all day. Holding a koala was fantastic, so cuddly and cute and there is probably no where else in the world where you can get that close. I highly recommend the birds of prey show and the herding dog demonstrations.

A fantastic day out. It's not cheap but it is worth it. Catch the mirimar boat down and make a day of it. The sanctuary does good work and its a great kid friendly experience. Read the review that said it was boring. Not a chance! To be bored is to be boring.

We love feeding the kangaroos and totally enjoyed ourselves just feeding them and the birds. Don't really enjoyed the sheep shearing show as I pity those sheep and their fates after the show.

The kangaroos were awesome to feed (2.00 for food) and must hold the Koala (16 bucks for the picture) - fee to get in the park was around 30.
