My advice is to wear comfortable shoes! You'll be walking a lot, and some areas are a bit hilly. Trust me, your feet will thank you later!

If you want to get that perfect selfie with a koala, timing is key! Try to visit during feeding times for the best interaction.

I recommend visiting on a weekday, especially around 10 AM, when the crowds are smaller, and the animals are more active. It makes for a relaxing experience!

Bring your own snacks or lunch! The food at the café can be pricey, and the picnic areas are perfect for enjoying a break with a view.

Bring some cash for food and souvenirs! Some places didn’t accept cards when I was there. It’s a bummer to miss out on a cute koala plushie.

I recommend arriving right when they open at 10 AM. It’s way less crowded and you’ll get to see the animals being fed, which is super cool.

I suggest wearing comfortable shoes. You’ll be doing a lot of walking, and trust me, you don’t want to be dealing with sore feet halfway through your visit

Make sure to bring sunscreen and a hat! There’s not much shade in some areas, and it can get really hot, especially around noon. You don’t want to end your fun day with a sunburn!
