Try the guided tours (small groups) as it is well worth the cost and the extra access you get

We spent 5 hours here, and still didn't get to see everything! Go early in the morning to book the experiences and also see all the free shows (most are in the morning)

Do the kangaroo experience. You get to feed them. Also you can get super close to koalas 🐨

Absolutely pay to feed the kangaroos. It's worth every dollar and such an awesome experience for non-aussies

Birds of prey show is worth scheduling for. Spend some time with the wombat. It's pretty touristy but fun if you're out there for the wineries.

Totally loved the place. Animals seems happy and in very good health. Staff is super friendly. This was the first time I ever saw a kangaroo

This is probably the first zoo that I didn't find depressing. Great animal and environmental programmes in place here but also a genuine focus on indigenous culture and history.

Platypus show was great. Consider the take home messages seriously. Plus, $12 for a close encounter with a type of animal.
