There is also a varity of exotic animals such as monkeys 🐒, emu, parrots 🦜, wallabys, meerkats to name a few.

There is also a gorgeous fairy trail and hobbit village with lots of native flora and fauna.

Lots of indoor and outdoor play areas and lots of under cover areas for the wet days. A coffee shop and lots of picnic areas too.

All you have to do is follow our page, like this post and share it to your page.
