David Fleay Wildlife Park
David Fleay Wildlife Park Review
Located in the town of Burleigh Heads and named for an Australian wildlife naturalist, the park features a boardwalk trail through pristine wetlands and rain forests. Koalas, kangaroos, dingoes, platypuses, and crocodiles, grouped together in separate zones according to their natural habitat, are just some of the creatures you might see. A state-of-the-art nocturnal house displays threatened species and the elusive platypus. Daily presentations are free. There's also a café and a gift shop. Family passes offer a significant admission discount.
