Alice Springs Desert Park
An underrated zoo. They have zoo keeper talks and bird shows through out the day. Not nearly enough tourists which means it’s not at all crowded. Nocturnal tour was also a good experience where you get to see some animals that you typically don’t see during the day. The zoo is also about the right size - not too big not too small. There’s a good truck on site. Cafe not currently open. Staff said people running the food truck will take over the cafe in the near future.

Was a great experience, coming back to this place after 23 years - what a difference! Very interesting park, lots of birds & the Flying Bird Show was great. Was a shame that the dingos were being fed right before or after the Flying Bird Show ended and no dingos were in sight - bad timing!

We had a 3 hr tour from the Ghan. Would have liked to stay longer, but the talks on dingos, emus and Bush medicines were all we had time for yet were great. The live bird show is not to be missed. Sensational. The Nocturnal House was large and impressive with very easy to see nocturnal animals. Mobility friendly in a natural setting. Jeremy our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining.

I love this place. Definitely worth a day. On this Alice visit I did full day and then the nocturnal tour, including morning and afternoon bird show. Just stunning.

You'll have one of a kind experience here. You'll get to enjoy the mountain view, see various animals, flora and bird show. If you have more time, you gotta watch in the cinema. The ending was simply dramatic. Have fun!

Great experience when nothing to do in Alice on such a hot day. Lots to see! Our guide, Greg, was brilliant; So forthcoming and passionate in explaining the animals habits and behaviour as well as having a great knowledge of the medicinal and practical applications of some of the plants on the grounds, garnered from spending valuable time with the elders and local indigenous people. All in all, a great experience. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience, love the nocturnal house and the bird show. Not very busy when we went, not as many animals but more about the landscape and the flora. Heaps of different birds in various aviaries around the park. Kids loved it!
