Meet gentle giants Jarvis and Igloo at the 10am “Tortoises LIVE!” show, where keepers share fun facts, and you can book a photo after. Some of the tortoises you meet may even be over 100 years old! Book your tortoise photo early at Guest Services; they sell out fast.

Join a guided tour (AU $39 adults / AU $19 children), with all proceeds helping to protect native animals.

Step through a shipwreck to a tropical paradise and explore the three-story treehouse, meet ring-tailed lemurs, macaws, and tortoises. The treehouse is built around a replica fig tree. If you're lucky, you may see lemurs leap between platforms above you.

The main event: crocs, birds, and maybe an Irwin or two. Arrive early for the Wildlife Warriors Show at 1:15pm for the best seats and a shady spot. The Crocoseum holds 5,000 people and 2.5 million liters of water. Fun fact: crocs can leap over 6 feet!

10. Roo Heaven

Buy the feed at the gate for AU $3 and hand-feed kangaroos or snap a selfie. The 2pm feeding is a classic Aussie experience.

11. Koala Walk

Stroll the eucalypt grove and catch the 3pm “Koalas LIVE!” show. Learn about koala habits and how to help them in the wild. You can add on a koala encounter for AU $134 per person: cuddle a koala, talk to the keepers, and get high-resolution pictures to take home.
