Dundee’s is renowned as an interactive ‘HANDS ON’ wildlife experience.

DON'T FORGET YOUR CAMERA – PROVE TO YOUR FRIENDS JUST HOW BRAVE YOU ARE!!!

The park is situated on 4 acres of land and is home to a large range of Australian wildlife, including birds, reptiles and mammals, & we are very pleased to announce the recent addition of KOALAS to our collection.

PAT A KOALA
You can pat a koala as part of the 2:00pm SHOW.  Unfortunately as the koalas are very sensitive creatures, this opportunity is not available on days over 32 degrees (contact the park for full details).

REPTILE ROOM
The REPTILE ROOM boasts a range of Pythons, from a 50cm Stimpsons Python to an impressive 6m, and growing, Amethystine Python.  There is a Lace Monitor, and numerous other species of Lizards to see, many of which are handled on guided tours.

You can hold a python during the 2:00pm Show.

CROCODILES
Dundee's hosts South Australia’s largest collection of salt and freshwater crocodiles, housed indoors amongst picturesque tropical surroundings.  A large waterfall runs into one of the crocodiles enclosures & is directly at your feet when strolling across the boardwalk.

To witness the CROCODILE FEEDING, be part of the 2:00pm Show on the weekends during the warmer months.

NOCTURNAL HOUSE
Residents include Potoroos, Bettongs, Owls, a Wombat, Fruit Bats, and more. These animals are rarely seen in the wild as they retreat to the protection of their nest during the day, hiding from all attention.

BLACK COCKATOOS
'Yella' & 'Bobbi' are a feature of the 2:00pm Show, performing some cute tricks to show off to you.  These beautiful, hand raised birds will astound you with their friendliness and character, and how gentle they are for their size.
