What we did?

At the time of our visit here the Queensland Government were offering deals for people to get cheaper adventures within Queensland in an attempt to boost tourism as Covid restrictions started to decline. This meant we got a really good deal for our entry so we decided to go bigger and do the Zootastic Wildlife 5 encounters. Best decision ever. We had the most amazing time. The five encounters included our own personal guide (maximum of 6 participants) to take us around and assist us with the activities, which included: cuddling a Koala; holding a Crocodile or Snake; walk, pat and feed a Wombat; feed a Cassowary; feed an Alligator; feed mealworms to small monkeys; plus as part of the entry you get to go on the boat for the crocodile feeding and see the crocodile farm. If you go here, which I highly recommend you do, you definitely have to do the full experience. I don’t think it would have been the same if we hadn’t. I almost forgot to mention that we started the day early and had breakfast there before meeting with all the animals, it was delicious.

Highlight?

Walking and cuddling a wombat! 

Would I do it again?

If I was to do it again, it would 100% be the zootasic wildlife 5 encounter.
