The Nocturnal Tour is a wonderful opportunity to experience what Australian wildlife used be like before introduced species shrunk the populations of our native nocturnal wildlife. These animals get to live in a natural environment protected from predators and we get to witness them. Well worth the additional price adding on to a Desert Park day park.

Excellent displays and activities. Makes the land, the birds, the plants come alive! Excellent cultural displays and teaching.

So many desert flowers out, pathways easy walking, the bird show was excellent - a most enjoyable experience

Went to the Park and wandered through until meeting a group being guided around. Joined them and found it extremely interesting with lots of information and anecdotes. Guide made sure we got to the free-flying bird demonstration which was really good. Star of the show was a Willy Wagtail that believed he was the boss - but owls, curlew, eagles, hawks, magpies and kites were terrific. So good that we waited until the afternoon show and went again. Easy way to see wildlife and to learn about culture. The nocturnal house is also very well set up and worth spending some time in - we went to the guided tour there as well. Overall extremely interesting and we would recommend any visitors to go there for a lengthy wander

Visited Thursday 4th May. I was travelling on The Ghan and this was the excurion I was given, not my first choice. I'm glad I did it, the guide we had was very informative, the bird show amazing and the rest filled in time. We also had a buffet lunch there as well.

We cycled from Alice Springs on a great car free trail 7km to the Desert Park. We spent 5 hours there! It was brilliant. Great for families. Dont miss the bird presentation!!

We arrived here early enough to see the bird exhibition at the amphitheatre, the show starts just after 10.00am and the gates are closed then and if you arrive late they don’t let you in. After the show we walked around the park visiting the various exhibits. This is a great little park and we really enjoyed our time here, it certainly helps that it is set with the backdrop of the West MacDonnell ranges. We thought the prices were fair and would recommend a visit to the park when in Alice Springs.

Definitely a must do on first visit to Alice Springs. Welcoming and informative staff. Enjoyed the shows. My friends who live here have the pass and bring the kids all the time. Kids love the nocturnal house.

We arrived later in the day having just arrived from Sydney and I believe we were the only guests in the park. We missed most of the ranger talks as these occur throughout the day. There was an array of very colourful birds making an amazing sound. The whole landscape seems very alien to us from The UK. The nocturnal house was full of strange looking (for us) animals which we could easily see when the eyes had adjusted to the dark. We wished we had more time to explore more thoroughly but it was still a good experience.

Great adventure, knowledgeable guides and lots of fun. We were there on a night when a bit storm when through. Rain, lightning and thunder but the show must go on. Once you got past being a bit damp it was well worth a visit. Animals where amazing

Fantastic outback backdrop for a super park. It is well done -- with different areas, easily walkable, and lots of animals to see. The bird show was terrific, and a zookeeper provided us with a talk about the dingoes. A man gave a great lecture about some Aboriginal history. The park includes a great deal to see and learn; while it is big, it is surprisingly compact. Great place for everyone -- include families with children.

Alice Springs Desert Park is certainly a 'must see' location on a trip to Central Australia. The Guides provide excellent insights and the park itself is stunning

We visited on a very warm day and really appreciated the fact that they were open at 8am and we could spend a few hours in the cool of the day. An excellent experience - don't miss the film at the very start as this sets you up proviing context and information about what you are about to see. Visit the nocturnal house, watch the dingos and there are several 'shows' where the guides talk you through different species. A must for young and old!

Rude Ruben Very strong opinionated.when questions were asked his response was condescending almost antagonistic disingenuous "Sir" . He is very knowledgeable thats a given. His delivery just insulting. We Left the park feeling like we didn't deserve being Australian.

Fantastic collection of native flora and fauna. Especially pleased with the Nocturnal House and Raptor show. The Movie theatre finished with an unexpected WOW factor. This place is a must visit when in Alice Springs
