Highlights
Outing Highlights
Open-range Walkabout
Wander freely through a spacious, open-range habitat where kangaroos roam at your side, an experience designed to put visitors close to the animals while maintaining a natural setting.
The Mob of Red Kangaroos
The Walkabout places you among a Mob of Red Kangaroos — some relaxing under the sun and others moving about — offering visitors an up-close view of their playful behaviors while remaining on the designated path.
Stroll and Unwind
The experience is intentionally unhurried: guests are invited to take their time, sit on available benches, and enjoy the sunshine as they observe the animals at their leisure.
