I was at the Wildlife Park with a friend of mine and really appreciated the friendly staff. We saw some cool local animals and especially enjoyed the reptile section. Matthew who showed us around was very kind, enthusiastic and knowledgeable which made our experience all the more worthwhile!

Absolutely terrible. Should be closed down.
So sad to see the animals kept in such awful conditions.

Had an enjoyable experience visiting with a friend. We had an organised tour with Matthew the zoologist who is passionate about all the animals. There was a good variety of birds and animals to see.

A great morning out with family and friends. We had an organised tour with Zoologist Matthew who is keen to share his knowledge. Feeding the camel was a memorable experience for the little one.

Cool rock formation, lots of flies so bring a fly net for your hat. Not much else to see out there and could do with some more information or maybe a historical tour guide. Small fee payable to help support the care of environment.

What a depressing experience. We should have known it was going to be bad after reading the hand written sign on the entry door saying that the koalas and wedge tail eagle had died (albeit from old age). I'm pretty sure the rest of the animals wish they were dead too as this place is neglected, overgrown and totally run down. The birds looked so sad that we wanted to set them free. The only things thriving were the weeds and spiders. It was probably lovely when it first opened, but its time to rehome these poor creatures and call it a day!

I was very disappointed visiting the wildlife park, I think it should be totally renovated for the Beautiful Birds, the big birds can’t fly around, even the small birds. They need to be stimulated with a big area to spread there wings, the ducks need to swim in a pond, the chickens and roosters need to roam around, and the poor peacocks have nothing to do, The camel has a shed with a tractor in it for its shelter, alpacas looked alright but need heaps more space kangaroos look well looked after and 1 snake in a small glass fish tank, I know it’s run by volenteres but I’m sure your local shire can help out financially to get this place up and running and be proud to show of your beautiful animals and habitat, and I guarantee you will have so many more visitors and that means more profit.

I can’t even give this place zero stars
This place should be shut down.
There is a sign as you walk into the park after you have paid saying and I quote
“Sorry to let you all know the Koalas have died”
Do not goto this place

Lunch was nice but animals needed much more room in their cages left feeling quite unhappy.

It is not normal to pay $15 to see no animals. We only saw poultry. Nothing is written before. A tourist trap for nothing. Just a single snake with no desceiption. Not recommendable.

Had a wonderful experience at the Wave Rock Wildlife Park. I had a tour from the Park's resident zoologist (Matthew) who really knew his stuff and loved the animals. There are a great variety of birds on display and the white kangaroos are really unique.

I also thoroughly enjoyed the Lace Place and Toy Soilders.

The vanilla slice at the cafe is also a must.

Awesome little park with very knowledgeable/friendly staff and volunteers to help make sure you get the most from the experience. We saw black cockatoos, a camel, parrots, a wombat, kangaroos (even albino ones!) and lots and lots more. Definitely worth a visit!

Am hoping that some of the animals there are rescues with issues rather than have issues since being there (such as blind kangaroos, an emu with an obvious skin condition on its neck), swan pond was green and not suitable for anything to live in. Birds were healthy looking and in decent sized cages.

3 adults and 2 children to see a run down derelict space for $60, we were all so shocked at what we were witnessing, we actually left as it was too depressing. Im not sure if all these animals have been saved, some definitely have as they state this but this place needs to be shut down or alot of $$$ put into it. Its cruel and I doubt very much this would pass RSPCA standards. No koalas which is a blessing as those animals look like they are in hell. It would actually be more humane to put these animals down as not to suffer the rest of their days in this area. We can't stop talking about how shocked we all are at what we witnessed today. I hope this place reads reviews and to all the people giving it 5 stars? Wow.

Worth a look. Climb to the top for a good view and interesting 300mm high walls used to redirect the water into a small town water supply built in the early 1900

What a waste of money paid $15PP so $30 for my partner and I and it was 100% not even worth it, was very dirty hasn’t kept maintenance.
All you’re paying for is seeing birds.
Would not recommend.

We bought a $20 gold pass per adult for admission of Wildlife park, Lace place, Miniature Army museum and Yesteryear museum. And the most worth it is this wildlife park.
I’m surprised with the size of the park as we spent quite awhile inside. Pretty good range of wildlife to see as well. But koala wasn’t there when we went.

The lady at the front also warned us about the possibility of snake in the park, also the friendly emu that may run to us (which thankfully it didn’t).

I do hope they can maintain the cleanliness of the park as some places are messy and dirty. Camels are looking very sad and in need some a good scrub.

Paid 30 dollars for 2. Thought it was not worth it and nothing exciting to see. Birds in cages and smelly.

I was very surprised and delighted with this wildlife park in the Wheatbelt. The lady who set this up is amazing. Well worth a walk through. Have a picnic or enjoy a bite to eat at the cafe. I love garden sculptures and there is many scattered around. Even some dinosaurs
