TOUR
DETAILS

Be amazed with the views from
Mount Lofty Summit –
before arriving at the wildlife park, we take a short stop at Mount Lofty
Summit to enjoy the magnificent panorama over Adelaide. At approximately 710m,
the summit is the highest point in the Adelaide Hills with uninterrupted views
to the Gulf St. Vincent and as far as the eye can see north and south along the
coastline.

Experience the Cleland Wildlife
Park difference – this
35-hectare natural bush setting provides a unique open space environment with
very few enclosures. It is home to over 130 species of native animals and is
one of only a few places in the world where you can hold a koala. Cleland
Wildlife Park is well known for its management and care in the health and
wellbeing of the animals.

Choose your Koala encounter * – get up close to Australia’s iconic
Koala! Your entry fee includes the koala
‘close up’ experience (meet, talk to, & photograph a koala). An optional
koala ‘hold’ experience is available for an additional
fee from AUD$33.00 pp. The koala ‘hold’ experience must be pre-booked directly
through the wildlife park. Please be aware of tour timings before booking a
hold experience. The approximate time spent at the park: 11.00am to 3.00pm

Walk among the free
roaming animals – as
you explore the park and follow the self-discovery trails, find an abundance of
native wildlife and walk among the free roaming animals in their natural environment.
Explore the lively wetlands where the pelicans, cormorants and water birds
live. See kangaroos, emus, dingoes, wallabies, Tasmanian devils and many more!

Enjoy an immersive experience – engaging with the park’s friendliest
inhabitants provide a truly immersive experience. The best way to get up close to
the kangaroos, wallabies and potoroos is by hand feeding them with the included
animal food. Remember to save some for the emus and waterfowl as you make your
way around the park!

And do so much
more!

– Don’t forget the interactive keeper talks; it is a great
way to learn about and see the animals in action! The Ocean to Outback
Interpretive Centre provides an opportunity to learn about South Australia’s
diverse ecosystems whilst viewing the nocturnal animals, small mammals and
reptiles – you may even choose the reptile hold experience!
