The quality of the exhibits was wonderful, we loved that each diorama had a plaque with information about how many bricks went onto the construction of each piece, as well as how many hours. By far our favourite part was constructing part of the "Cloud City" mosaic. My sister and I are long time Star Wars fans and we feel we're connected to the exhibition now.

Ticketing was easy to follow and information and maps for the three activities were good. The staff at all three were really helpful, pleasant and made the experiences fun. It was fun getting close to the animals at Churchill Island and the highlight was milking the cow. Walking around the koala reserve and again getting to see them up close was special. The highlight of the afternoon was the penguin parade, particularly getting to see them as they went to their burrows, from the boardwalk. We all agreed that we had a great day. We self drove.

We brought overseas visitors to watch the koalas and their excitement was wonderful to watch and then we got to watch an echidna digging in an ant nest so close by that was such a new sight for the visitors saying to us that this will always be in their memory
