This is a delightful park with loads of different birds, dingo's, wombats & kangaroo's. Beautifully maintained. You can walk inside the bird enclosure and feed some of the birds. The gardens are well maintained and there is play equipment for the children. Delightful place for a walk on a sunny day.

So many things for our children to climb on and see in the park kept them busy for "hours". They were able to pat kangaroos and see other animals up close. The Cafe serves very good coffee, tea & snacks. Well worth the visit.

Visited Bunbury Wildlife Park with my 6 year old who had a wonderful time feeding parrots, cockatoos and farmyard friends. We were lucky enough to hold newly hatched chicks and later had hands on experiences with some cool reptiles. Keepers Chloe and Mike were so awesome sharing their knowledge with us and made the afternoon feel like a personal experience at the park. We had a lovely time at this great place and look forward to coming back. Thanks to everyone at Bunbury Wildlife Park for a wonderful experience and looking after our native wildlife.

Great to go in winter months as it is not busy so you can spend time walking through the aviaries and feeding animals, without too many people around.
There are several aviaries you can walk through where birds may land on your shoulder. Many Australian native animals, some have been rescued or ex-pets.
There is an farm animal area where you can feet sheep, goats, emus and pigs.
There is a reptile section with snakes and lizards.
A keeper talk is available at 11.30 daily, where they show snakes (pythons), blue tongue lizard, rats (that kids can hold), and ferrets that kids can walk on a leash. Following the keeper talk you can spend time interacting with the animals, and ask questions. There were 3-4 keeps available at the talk we attended.
At there end there is a gift shop & cafe.
We felt the park was well looked after and the animals had quite a bit of space in their enclosures. The animals didn’t appear unhappy or distressed and had plenty of natural food (including fruit and veggies) throughout their areas.
Overall it was a nice experience. We’ll return on the next trip.

We’ve been to heaps of wildlife parks but this was a little different. It is located right in suburbia!
The kids had a wonderful time with heaps to do and see. We usually find the kangaroos are a highlight for feeding and interacting, as was the case here. The Roos were calm and gentle and got lots of cuddles.
Heaps of birds, some quokkas, Emus, goats, cockatoos, snakes, goannas etc.
The usual gift shops awaits as you exit. We don’t mind spending at these if it’s going toward a good cause.
Massive playgrounds just next door too.

Took our grandson there yesterday after not having visited for a couple of years. There seemed to be less animals, and less birds than before. Lots of pens appeared empty. Very frustrating trying to find the public toilets - signs still there pointing you to one end of the park only to find they were demolished and had to return to the cafe and start again! When we paid at the entry counter I could see no sign with admission prices - that sign was on the door at the other end apparently! Also were not offered the bag of food to purchase, so were half way around before realising that others had them. Disappointing visit this time.

Hi, thank you for your honest feedback. The Park is undergoing some major changes which required the demolition of the original toilet block. There is a portaloo at the back of the Park in the interim. We've had to move some of the animals in preparation for the noisy and disruptive demolition/building process. There are only 2 empty pens because of this and the tammar wallabies have been moved to near the quokka for their wellbeing. We are trialing some new systems which has also meant that some of our signage might appear to be in the wrong spot. This will also be rectified in the coming months. It's a growth phase for the Park, not always smooth but worth it in the long run. Thanks again.

Took our 1 year old, she loved it and so did we.
Buy a bag of seed on the entrance for $1.50 and you will have the birds and roos feeding out of your hand.
Highlight for me was the 2 beautiful dingos, we were there at 11am for the talk with the carer.
This park is not huge like Perth zoo, so dont expect to be walking around for hours, but entry is priced at half what Perth zoo charge.
Right outside the wildlife park (next to the cafe) is a big toddlers play park (free) with lots of attractions for kids, good to have lunch after your visit while the kids burn off energy.
If your down in Bunbury looking for something to do i really enjoyed and recommend this place, mainly for younger kids though.

Unfortunately we don't have any Koala's. We focus predominantly on wildlife that is native to WA. We do have plenty of birds, farm animals and kangaroos you can interact with. Love to see you soon.

A couple of hours in the park is plenty! They have a lovely cafe & epic playground out thr front so could stay for some food & a play as well before going on your way.
