    Cozy gemstone of Gold Coast. Not crowded. Nice place to walk with kids. Interesting bird show. The ticket price is reasonable (they give a second visit for free until the end of the year).

    Fleay's Wildlife Park is a great place to visit. It is quite small but you can easily spend a few hours there. It is good for people of all ages and is wheelchair /pram accessible. The staff are friendly. The ranger talks are well worth attending. There is an on-site Cafe which we did not use but looks good. Would definitely recommend it.

    A lovely few hours out! Beautiful entrance through the mangroves and animals are close and accessible. The opportunity to pat the emus, roos and wallabys is always great. Plenty of bird life and the staff are fabulous and happy to answer all questions. Very clean and well kept, including facilities with plenty of parking to be had. Plenty of places to sit and each lunch, so definitely take a packed lunch if you want to save the extra money (the coffee is great there though!)

    Wonderful place with Great Documentaries and feeding the Eagles, Cassowary, Possums, Owl, Snakes, Tree-Kangaroo, Crocodiles, Walk through with Kangaroos, Wallabies and Emus. Staff and Volunteer are All So Very Helpful and Fish'n'Chips nice meal served by 3 Lovely Ladies along with good Coffee all makes for a Great Day and as there are many Shows you can purchase an Annual Ticket only double the price of 1 visit and go as many times as you like...Bargain...

    Such a shame that most animals were not able to be viewed - koalas, dingoes, wombats, tigers, tree monkeys, tortoises - we couldnโ€™t see any of them (pens empty) so we walked around an almost empty park. We decided to have lunch and weโ€™re charged $39 for 3 cans drink and a croissant. We got to see an emu, 2 pelicans and a brolga. Oh, and a handful of fish in the pond plus 1 small croc. We went to the bird show which was very very short and mostly about a parrot and an owl. It used to be so good here. Driving 3 hours round trip with traffic really just wasnโ€™t worth it sadly.

    All the work on the park over the last few years is amazing. The kids loved the shows and the cafe has a great selection of Emma & Tom's and natural icypoles. Easy and enjoyable day out with kids. ๐Ÿ‘

    It's not big, but it's relaxing, generally quiet and the staff are always happy to chat. There's lots of shows too. The crocs are back after an extended holiday at Australia Zoo. The kangaroos, wallabies & emu walk-thru enclosure is open again. If you live nearby an annual pass is a no-brainer. For under $135 for a family of 4, you can pop in for an hour or so, get the kids off their screens and eye-balling wildlife. If they want their screens, download an bird ID app and get them acquainted with the numerous native birdlife. Take a video of the koalas snoozing, platypus swimming, billbies hopping, etc and upload it to their YouTube channel.

    We spent a really lovely half day walking around this tranquil wildlife oasis. Situated conveniently close to motorway access, yet you're blissfully unaware of it in the bush setting of the reserve. Enclosures are decently sized, meticulously maintained to mimic the natural habitat of the animal with the walking paths and platforms either raised or running through the enclosures offering every opportunity to successfully spot or interact with the occupants. Every staff member and park ranger we met was extremely friendly, knowledge and helpful. Tuck shiny things like jewellery and sunglasses away if you don't want to be stalked by the emus like a bird version of the paparazzi. Shows and talks are conducted on the hour from around 9am until till early afternoon making the morning the best time to arrive. There is a kayaking experience (at additional cost) on the adjacent lake or a walking trail to hike. BBQ and picnic facilities are available along with a tea room with seating on a beautiful raised verandah overlooking the park. While there isn't any glitz and glamour to the reserve, it's welcome and appropriate.

    We came here with the grandkids. Everyone is enjoying themselves. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is good. The only thing is that they don't cater for coeliacs.

    Small nature park with very limited animals and birds. Have a short but good walking track around the park. Good place for kids to spend a morning with friends.

    Wonderful zoo. I highly recommend this park, itโ€™s especially good for children. The enclosures are clean and natural and the animals are obviously well cared for. As an adult I really enjoyed it. The keepers are all actual park rangers and very generous with sharing their knowledge. We spent a whole day there and attended many of the keeper sessions that run all day.

    Awesome park, surprisingly not too busy despite amazingly beautiful walk in the mangrove right near the bay

    Today I took my mum, for what I hoped would be a memorable outing to Fleayโ€™s Wildlife Park. It was a beautiful day and the setting was very peaceful, however all we saw was empty cages with no animals. Seriously! There were no koalas, no crocodile feeding show, and so much more missing, even from the dark enclosure. It was so disappointing paying the entry fee just to see an Ibis and bush Turkey ๐Ÿฆƒ plus the odd wallaby, two tiny, tiny crocodiles, and a green tree frog. Very underwhelming and actually embarrassing for me, since it was my idea to visit. Further, there was a rude young woman on the front desk who couldnโ€™t say goodbye or even give us a glance on our way out. Do yourself a favour and go to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary or a walk through Burleigh National Park for free. Fleays Wildlife Park has seen better days, which is a shame, but reality.
