Angus Neill Reserve

Reviewed By jablayney - Adelaide, Australia

Amazing park. Tremendous children’s playground with open space for picnics. Two bbqs and undercover areas. But you will need to get there early if you want to grab a table.

Gorge Wildlife Park

A place where people and animals get together. See all your favourite Australian animals such as wombats, dingoes and Tasmanian devils. Feed the kangaroos and wallabies and cuddle a koala daily at 11.30am, 1.30 & 3.30pm

Reviewed By 912nicholasw - Colchester, United Kingdom

Spent a very pleasant four hours at this small wildlife centre. Very good value at $19 each plus another $10 for the ‘hold a koala’ experience. The holding session was well organised and the koala diligently posed with a number of visitors whilst concentrating on their eucalyptus leaves. Overall the centre appears to have approximately 50% of the wildlife roaming free whilst the majority of the caged animals and birds appeared to have enough space. Great variety of birds, animals and reptiles including native Australian species and others from overseas. The park is small enough to walk round in an hour but we found the more you looked the more you discovered. Only a short drive from Adelaide so easily fitted into a holiday schedule. Additionally worth a mention is the friendliness of the staff who mix in with visitors and were helpful throughout.

The Cedars

Reviewed By raandaka - Greater Adelaide, Australia

Six of us, including SA locals, interstate and overseas friends visited The Cedars where we took a self guided tour of the Han's Heysen Studio, a walk on the property (Artists Walk) and down to the green pool, followed by joining the guided tour of the House and self guided tour of the Nora Heysen Studio. We all thoroughly enjoyed our visit and the volunteer staff and guides were helpful and informative. One of our overseas guests even commented that she enjoyed it as much as visiting Monet's House and Garden in Giverny! The garden surrounding the house was lovely with many old fashioned plants and flowers and lawned areas, and the Artist's Walk took in magnificent gum trees on the bushland property.

Cleland Wildlife Park

Reviewed By EdiBa683 - Switzerland, null

The day at the park was awesome. I enjoyed to walk through the huge enclosures of the different kangaroos and wallabies. To hand feed the kangaroos was a great experience, to be close to them and to sit down and look at the kangaroos. Fantastic was also the Koala "close-up" experience in the morning. To enjoy this you have to be there minimum a half an hour before they start because there is a limited number of people who can do it and if you like they take photos with your own camera. And, There are a few other Koalas on eucalyptus trees, if you don't like to wait in line I spent a long time next to my favourite animal the Wombats. I saw my first white wombat and he was moving around. That was a memorable event for me. I was so fascinated by the wildlife and walking around there are also echidnas, potoroos, emus, birds and much more. It is a great Park to see lots of Australian Wildlife.

this gently sloped trail allows for most level of rider and is away from the road. There are a couple cross roads so keep an on on younger riders. Very scenic but unfortunately at the moment a some areas have suffered for bushfires,

Laratinga Wetlands

Reviewed By Twotravellers58 - Mount Barker, Australia

Lovely environment to exercise in. Nothing nicer than walking, or riding, along one of the many designated tracks, listening to the sounds of nature and checking out the variety of water birds close by. The bbq facilities and grassed area also make it a great spot for families to enjoy. The area is well maitained and dogs are also welcome. Get back to nature!
