My teenage daughter & I took a tour. We enjoyed seeing the variety of rescued animals. My daughter was disappointed that she wasnt allowed to hold an animal. We did get to touch the milk snake, monitor, tortoise & possum. Our tour guide was friendly and informative. Would recommend to anyone who likes animals.

Lovely park with lots of trees and plants, hiking trail, boardwalk and viewing platform. There were so many birds and watching the them on the shore while enjoying the breeze was incredibly relaxing.
