  A bit too pricey but good overall. I have visited quite a few times over the past 7 years and I have noticed they used to allow more animals to walk around and interact with people which I really loved about it. Now there is none of that. And the only way to cuddle a Koala is paying an extra $$ (30+) to get a photo. If you really want to interact with Kangaroos I would recommend that you go to the Koala Park instead.

  Enjoyed the experience. As with many zoos, enclosure s can be small. Although, this does allow a closeness to the animals. Staff and volunteers all helpful. Enjoy!

  Lovely small zoo with well maintained enclosures. Plenty of Australian animals, with a particularly wide variety of bird species. Despite the midday heat, it was pleasant walking around due to ample shade. However many of the animals were resting under shelter further back in their enclosures to avoid the sun, so i would suggest coming earlier in the day.

  The kids enjoyed feeding the kangaroos, wallabies and wallaroos but I would suggest just getting one cup of feed. The animals are well fed by a constant stream of visitors and though our girls tried hard we couldn't exhaust the supply. We bought 3 cups for $5 and ended up giving most of it to a family that were coming in when we left.

  Great experience. Came on a Friday in a driving rainstorm which probably limited the audience to those who were part of a tour. It was perfect to share up close and personal time with the animals. Would definitely suggest this as a must see for anyone wanting to view and learn about the indigenous wildlife.

  Best animal experience in Sydney area! I used to be in love with Taronga Zoo. That all changed 5 minutes after entering Featherdale. This place was absolutely wonderful and terrifically fun!! Whether you’re 4 or 94, this park is perfect!!! Couldn’t recommend it enough. Worth every penny.
