Glen Forest Tourist Park

Horrible experience! My partner and I are tourist from Melbourne who love wine so it would only be right to visit Glen-Forest Animal Park and Vineyard. When we arrived, no one was attending the front desk and I was busting to use the toilet so we entered, used the toilet and walked out. Before leaving the rude young lady at the front desk screamed at us to pay $30. I explained I only used the toilet and no one was at the desk when we arrived, but she rudely forced us to pay. Very disappointing a total downer to the end of a peaceful day. Would not recommend to friends or family based on customer service.

Racist and discriminatory staff member, terrible and should be ashamed.

If you have a disability you won't be welcome here because they have no understanding of that field and they do not deserve to run a business.

You guys are pushing a bad message. No respect to customers wanting a good time.

Absolute joke.

Do not waste your time at this awful place.

Best thing they can do is close.

Not just another animal park! On a cloudy day we took our three-year old son on the compulsory animal park visit. We presumed this would be another run-down animal park with overfed Australian native usual suspects, however we were pleasantly surprised to find clean, well-kept, modern facilities and hungry but well cared for animals. A highlight was the bird aviary, with many happy, tame birds coming for a feed of seed!

Had a really fun time playing mini golf and seeing some animals but the staff at the time seemed very uninterested. Nevertheless, was worth the trip, especially for younger kids

So we booked in for a segway ride at 3pm got there at 2pm to try mini golf and see the animals, so went to pay for mini golf and was told the course wasn't ready to play so we said OK we'll look at the animals be back just before 3. We did this as we got back to the hut at 2.50 the lady said make your way down I'll serve this person then be down we waited for half hour and no one arrived we went back to the office to find the girl cleaning the golf course for a group that arrived after us. Such a disappointment.

This is our 2nd time at this place in 12 months. Excellent place for full day of family fun. We did Segway tour- Paige was our "leader", she is amazing and very helpful. Then we did feed animals - kids absolutely loved it. Then we had coffee - made by Kim, the owner of the place, it was wonderful having conversation with him and knowing bit more about the place and the coffee was delicious too. We ended up our day with mini golf.

Had the best morning there this week, October 2021. We went to play Putt Putt, which was fine, an easy course, no real obstacles, but we ended up buying a $2 of animal feed and my daughter (nearly 20) had the best time feeding the animals. The cafe and shop are modern, pristine and well priced and the farm is lovely. There are also Segways and a wooden maze. Good value and the lady who helped us was lovely.

Had fun Segway ride. Good experience and fun. I am giving only 2 stars because we paid $40 for 30 min and all we rode was for 15 min. I asked the lady about this and she said, had we booked it in the morning we would have had full 30 min and now the Segway's are flat so its for shorter time and didnt care much, if thats the case then why charge full amount, thats not fair. I did enquire about this to the front desk guy as well, he said he doesnt know anything about it and didnt care at all. So spent 160$ for hardly 15min

Going to the Glen Forest Tourist Park was the best part of hour holiday up to Port Lincoln! The staff were amazing. My son loved every moment of it. As soon as you walk in the Park you are greeted by lovely animals that love attention. It was a better experience then the Adelaide Zoo. Thank you for such an amazing time and experience.

Great few hours spent here, beautifully kept gardens and enclosures. Segways were great fun as was the putt putt. Lovely coffee too.
I didn’t go in the maze - I don’t need any help getting lost!

Absolutely amazing experience, feeding the kangaroos was lovely. So many cute animals. My favourite part was going into the bird aviary and feeding the birds (make sure you save some seed for them!)

Didnt try the mini golf or Segway but still had a lot of fun.

Loved it here. Heaps of animals to see and interact with, a fun maze to try and crack and some lovely wines on offer as well. They also have Segways if that appeals to you, you get to ride around the vineyard. Had a great few hours here.

Had a very fun afternoon at this tourist park with my partner. Probably the best kangaroos feeding experience I've had, the kangaroos are so chill and friendly. Loved seeing all the other animals as well, having a round of mini golf on a very cute course and making our way through the maze. The place is very well maintained, the animals seem happy and well looked after and the service was very friendly.

People there were super lovely and the seg way experience was so fun! Super nice place 100% will return

One of the best places that I’ve visited in my life. You can have contact with many kinds of animals, pet and feed most of them. The kangaroos area is a wonderful experience if this is your first time seeing these animals. Besides that, the facility has very good food and drinks, a nice gift shop and a great staff. Highly recommend this place.

Wow - what a great experience at Glen-Forest! My parents and I went on the Segway Tour and it was the best fun we've had in a long time! My dad is in his 70's and none of us had any experience with segways, but it doesn't take long to find your balance and then you're zooming around like a pro. Perfect for young an old (I think it definitely brings our the kid in everyone).

The business is a real family affair and everyone was very friendly. Sat down for a coffee and had a chat with some of them (farmer-to-farmer). Wonderful to meet a like-minded family with such a love for what they do.

Overall, so much to see and do - would be perfect for families. The property itself is gorgeous and you can really see how much effort and passion the family have put in to creating a space that everyone can enjoy. Well worth the drive!

Don't miss this place when you are in Pt Lincoln, great service provided by all the team. The animals were friendly and liked the attention, kids loved all of them. A couple of show ponies (peacocks) around loving the camera. Great value with lots of things to do and should have brought some snags to cook as the BBQ facilities were available. Thanks team, see you another time.

Great place going out with friend and family, beautiful location very friendly staff. I love it will be back

Beautifully presented park with modern facilities and manicured gardens. Great way to spend a few hours with the family. Relaxed animals allow you to get up close and personal. Good value!

What a great place for a day out for the kids and adults alike. Kangaroo feeding, Koala feeding were really good experiences. But the best of it all was the Maze that kept our kids busy for half hour! It is very well made, not as easy as it looks. There is a place for BBQ if you want to bring your own. The animals were well looked after and it is very accessible and close to Port Lincoln. Recommended.
