Hunter Valley Wildlife Park

Loved my time here!!! We went and didn't expect it to be all that much, but we were wrong!!! It was a very laid bad place which we loved. A lot of interactions with the animals, way more than I expected. The park is small, but we still managed to spend the better part of the day here l, bouncing between habitats and watching the animals.

What a fantastic time we had here. You get to collect the stamps around the park and there are talks about the animals the kids loved feeding the camel. And love that he food is in a ice-cream cone made it easier for the kids to feed the ostrich. Really great day out.

This wild park well maintained and animal cared so meticulously. Also park employees are super friendly and helpful. They do great job over there. The paramount anecdotes is that park absolutely make you feel thrilled. If you’re visiting to Newcastle.! You shouldn't have missed that place for visit :) Huge thanks to Hunter Valley Park workers.! I do really appreciate to you guys to providing us such a great experience and knowledge about the animals. You guys are absolutely rock.!

Love this zoo! Have been many times and will keep coming back. Large animal enclosures for a large variety of animals. Perfect size to easily view all the animals without it being too overwhelming or tiring. Accessible and family friendly. Informative staff. Highly recommended.

We went here on a weekday and we almost had the park to ourselves. Very nice animal enclosures that provides an encounter with kangaroos, peacocks, deers, goats, various birds, and a lot more. There are spaces inteded for bbq and eating which is nice as well. Definitely recommended for those interested in wildlife and animals.

My first time was back in 2016 in winter. This time in summer 2023. All were great experience. Price is quite high especially if you go for encounter that's on top of entry fee.

Had a great time watching the animals and bird with my family. Place was well kept and maintained. Enjoyed feeding the camel, goat, lorikeet and more.

Fantastic wildlife park. It's small and intimate compared to a full sized zoo like Tarongah. You can get up close and personal with the animals. Easy access and great for small and big children.

Well managed and great environment (for visitors and animals). Get the chance to close up watching animals. My kids love it and definitely come back again soon.

Change of ownership since we were last there and I loved the new improved website and experience for the kids with the stamped passports!
We’ve always loved the open and free range feel of this ‘zoo’ which we’re so glad they’ve kept intact!

Fab zoo where the animals are active and in great shape. It is gravel/dirt so where closed toe shoes and bring hats. It does get warm!

Hunter Valley Wildlife Park is an engaging and educational experience with a diverse range of animals. Ideal for families, it combines conservation with fun, offering a memorable day out.

Wonderful wildlife park with a real good mix of native species but also family favourites as well.

Kids will particularly love getting close to even feeding the likes of camels, emus, kangaroos and many other animals. There's also the lure of the lions, crocodiles, cheetahs as well.

It's not terribly big but as a small outing it's a warm and feel good environment and really easy to get around. Take some food though as prices within the wildlife park are not exactly cheap so be prepared to shell out a little if you're travelling as a family of group and aren't prepared.

Parking is literally outside. Highly recommend for families with little ones wanting an up close experience.

Absolutely wonderful wildlife park to visit. It’s obvious that the animals residing this park are stress-free and well taken care of. Such a positive, refreshing energy for both the animals and people visiting. Very cool intimate feeding experience available also.

Very entertaining place to be
Good for old and young
We had a really good time there
It did not take us long to check out the whole place. But, it was fun

Wonderful look into Australian wildlife as well as a few foreign species. Loved getting up close with kangaroo and the Camels.

Nice zoo with friendly service. We did a breakfast tour on sunday which was great. Nice food and friendly employees. Kids loved the giraffe feeding.

I had a great time at the Hunter Valley Wildlife Park! The animal exhibits were well-maintained and the animals looked healthy and well-cared for, so many babies. There was a good variety of species, including some that I was really interested in seeing.

I also appreciated the educational value of the visit. The friendly staff were knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions I had. There were also some extra features like a petting zoo, highly recommend the Meerkat experience and interactive exhibits that were really fun.

The Wildlife Park was clean and well-maintained, which really added to the overall experience. I also thought the cost of admission was reasonable given the quality of the visit. Shout out to the wonderful cafe staff and the ladies maintaining the BBQ area

Overall, I would highly recommend this Wildlife Park to others. It was a fun and educational experience that I'm sure anyone would enjoy.

One of the best wildlife parks I've been to, highly maintained, such a great park.

Such a great place for kids and families. Wasn't alot of people when we went which was great.
