Alice Springs Desert Park

Parrtjima Festival 2021. The red dirt, escarpments of the West Macdonnell ranges and the vibrant art makes this a must do for everyone.

Amazing place!
Such beautiful true Aussie scenery and great bird and dingo shows!
Highly recommended

Beautiful park to wander around. Don't go on hot day though. Plenty of wildlife to look at. Bird show was good fun and the nocturnal house is well done.

We had a short afternoon visit and managed to get a few exibits in. Guides were friendly and knowledgeable.
We particularly liked the bush tucker session.
Some great children's area and walking trails.
Some better signage would be helful.
An all day visit would have been better.

Being here in the wet season and post covid dooesnt help. We went here in march. It was a hot day. Make sure you use sunscreen hat and some insect repellant as there is plenty of walking like other zoos. We watched a video on the earths evolution to cool down we also had a guide talk about the birds at a selected time. Some of the areas were not open due to being wet season. There were barely anyone in the park. We did enjoy what we seen. You have a day pass so you can come back during the day for different attractions. Pricing is similar to other zoos in your state.

Dear Staff of this amazing park,

I visited you last November and I was amazed with the facilities, how you treated the animals and how nice and careful your staff was!

Thank you so so much!

Cheers from Portugal,

Nice place for a half day trip. Very well designed, so you can get close to all the animals. 10am free birds show is very nice, make sure you arrive at the venue 10 minutes early. Plenty of drinking water spot and 3 have chilled water. A lot to see

Amazing spot to see some Australian animals. Recommend the talks about survival in the desert the woman who lectured really knew her stuff

Simply great! Spent the whole day in the park, you need the time if you'd like to see all! We can really recommend the whole program! We learned a lot of the cultur, flora and fauna of the red center!

Loved it here, felt safe and they have great laundry room and the cabins are beautiful. I even had a guest for breakfast of a lovely stick insect.

The colour and diversity of Alice springs makes it a great place to explore.
Stunning, gorgeous, wild desert animals and wacky bottomless boat race are some of the wonderful and weird sights to Alice springs.

FANTASTIC to see all things from the desert. The birds, the movie, the Kangaroo info ALL Of it GREAT. A little HOT today Jan 2nd 2019 - 45 or 121 deg F. But still worth the visit

Nice park. We spent few hours in the park to watch desert animals and plants then had a picnic lunch with cold beers.

Fantastic bird show and well designed bird aviary and very detail and interesting presentation. We had so much fun.

Alice Springs desert Park is a must see for any tourist consisting of three separate desert habitats with walkthrough area of 1.6 KMs.there are multiple exhibits and multiple walks including a nocturnal house, Woodlands, desert rivers and sand country.

Have been here every time I pass through Alice. Love it and definitely not to be missed. Stop for the film too.

Great introduction to the wonderful desert ecology of Alice Springs. Well presented, great shows, talks and exhibits. Amazing bird show and nocturnal house. Go early to beat the heat, need a some hours to appreciate and well worth the money

Perfect weather for the park today, about 23 degrees. Lovely layout and beautifully maintained in a naturalistic way though possibly more perfect than out in the wild.

Would have probably given it 5 stars except it was sooo hot (37°C) when we went (obviously that was the park's fault) Fabulous flighted bird show with lots of very large and spectacular raptors. Nocturnal house was a great refuge from the heat, but had to skip the rest of the park because of the temps in unshaded environment. A must-return on our next visit (during a cooler time of the year.

A must if visiting Alice Springs. Great layout. A lot of thought put in. A lot to see and learn but not overwhelming. Aviaries were really enjoyable. Nocturnal house my favourite. Plenty of staff ring shows to attend which add to the experience. Great value for money. Cafe somewhat lacking but did go in low season so that is hard for them - probably much better in busier times.
