Visited over the school holidays with kids and partner. Very spacious and doesn't get too busy. Amenities were very clean. There's also a splash park and playground to keep the kids busy while waiting for the animal encounters and heaps of picnic areas to sit and have lunch. Definitely worth the visit.

As a birthday present I did the Zookeeper for a day experience. This will go down as one of the very best days of my life. For any animal lover this experience was sensational. In truth I did very few zookeeper chores - it is more like seeing (and feeding) all the animals from the other side of the fence/glass. It was absolutely spectacular to get up so close to so many magnificent creatures. There are too many to list but each one was so unique. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough and will be looking for another excuse to do it all again!

Such a fantastic zoo, season pass is totally worth it. Mostly flat, however the gravel area at the second half of the zoo makes it hard to push a travel pram. Very kid friendly, the kangaroo feeding, the farm feeding, the large playground and splash park is amazing. Highly recommended for families.

Had a great time here! I can definitely agree that the pricing feels steep... But after understanding that this is a family run zoo with not much government assistance, the cost didn't feel so bad. Besides price, I had a great time here! Being able to get so up close and personal with so many native and exotic animals really was an amazing experience. I would definitely come here over a government run zoo. Kudos to a great park!

Great experience for family and kids! The animals were all up close and visable. They looked cared for and had lots of space. It was fun for the kids to be able to feed some of them. It was a little rainy this day and it was not too busy.
Food and beverages were quality and affordable.

This wild Life Park was top notch. The habitats were very nice and clean. The park was very clean and beautifully maintained. The animals looked to be in great shape and even seemed happy. The souvenir shop had lots to choose from and there is a cafe to get a bite to eat. The fries with chicken salt were so good. The kid's play area was very nice.

A small but very open, chill zoo and great for young kids as they have a big kangaroo and emu walk through area where you can feed them and they’re all very gentle. Their koala sanctuary is also large with lots of koalas around. Really quiet even on the weekend well worth the trip from Sydney.

Symbio is the best zoo for family and kids.
It has a water play area, play equipment, burgers and several large spaces for patting and feeding goats, sheep, kangaroos and wallabies. They also have animal feeding/show times throughout the day!
