If you only have time to visit one wildlife
park in Sydney, make it this one. The selection of native Australian animals is excellent,
and, most importantly, the animals are very well cared for. You could easily spend a
couple of hours here despite the park's compact size. You'll have the chance to hand feed
plenty of friendly kangaroos and wallabies, and get a photo taken next to a koala (there
are many here, both the New South Wales variety and the much larger Victorian type). The
park offers twice-daily bus tours, which include hotel pickup and drop-off.
