Fun experience getting close and up personal with Kangaroos, Koalas, and others like a Llama, Peacocks, Goats etc. The kangaroos looked like they had been sedated as they mostly lay around sleeping …Full review by what666

I do not know the official answer to your question and I did not see anyone eating at tables inside the park. The Kangaroos, of which there are many, run free and I’m not sure eating in the park would be a good idea. Best to call them.
May I know what the entrance fee of 31.50$ (when booked online) includes? I am aware that theres kangaroo petting and shows to catch, but getting close to the Koala/Snakes/Wombats requires additional pay?? So meaning I can only see them and not pet them unless I pay the extra 40$? Please let me know what I can do with just the entrance fee and if so, how long I should spend here. Thank you!

Hi Your entry fee includes all Keeper Talks, a Guided Tour at 11am and you are free to roam around all day if you wish. You can pat Kangaroo's for free and get really close to all our other animals. If you want a photo as a memento of your visit, with an animal of your choice, that is an extra fee. Just a reminder you can get up close to Koala's in Victoria but you are not allowed to hold them.
