Don't miss the chance to hand-feed lorikeets during twice-daily sessions, a highlight filled with vivid feathers and lively bird calls.


Your ticket also includes access to daily presentations, such as the impressive Free Flight Raptor Show—featuring eagles, owls, and kites in action—and the Sheepdog Show, where you’ll witness expert herding demonstrations and learn about Australia’s farming heritage. With a mix of education, interaction, and awe-inspiring wildlife moments, Lone Pine offers an unforgettable day for animal lovers of all ages.

Kangaroo feeding was pointless as the kangaroos were all overfed and didn't want more food. The place had plenty of animals but most seemed lethargic. For the price, you would expect more.
