Throughly enjoyable afternoon. Highly recommend a visit. Loved everything on offer. We loved how intimate the park is. Easy to navigate. Informative guides. Close up encounters of so many animals. Loved that the koalas were so close. The guides was so respectful and kind to the Koalas, I also loved that food options weren't ridiculously overpriced and re-entry into the park is offered as we ran out of time. Thank you!

Hartley's is a wonderful place for family especially kids. The crocodile boatride and feeding the Cassowary were the highlight of the day. All the shows are well timed, so we had enough time between them and did not have to rush. I would definitely recommend this as a must visit. Booking tickets via headout made our experience very easy and smooth, definitely recommending that too.
