There is also the option to purchase bags of grain and pellets at the kiosk, which allows you to feed the animals and get up and personal, which is a great experience that Gorge Wildlife Park offers. Along with these facilities at the park there are BBQ areas for you and the group to enjoy lunch as well as large gazebo areas and beautiful picnic lawns.

Whilst visiting the Park there are many things to see and experience. Throughout the park's fourteen acres of land you can visit many of its residents. There are various collections of Australian birds, wombats, echidnas, dingos, kangaroos, koalas and of course the reptiles.

There is also a collection of exotic animals to be seen with American alligators, otters, meerkat, monkeys and many more all making Gorge Wildlife their home. The experience is hands on with koala holdings occurring everyday and the occasional 'unleash' sessions where keepers allow visitors to get up close and personal with some of the animals including the snakes, holding the birds or watching the dingos have a stroll with their keepers.

Gorge Wildlife is definitely a great way to see all these animals in natural habitat with the caring of their committed keepers, who will be sure your visit to the park is as well informed as it is enjoyable.
