Esperance Bird & Animal Park Café, Café and petting zoo in Gibson, Western Australia
Esperance Bird & Animal Park Café is a combination café and petting zoo set across native bushland in Gibson. The site houses over 300 birds and various Australian animals in naturalized enclosures designed for close visitor interaction.
The facility grew from a small animal sanctuary into a combined animal park and dining venue. This expansion created an important educational resource for the Esperance region.
The place lets visitors connect with native animals and learn about species protection through hands-on experiences. Feeding sessions and educational programs help people understand the variety of Australian wildlife.
Access to the grounds is straightforward, though comfortable shoes are advised due to the natural terrain. Visitors should allow time to observe and feed the animals at their own pace.
Kangaroos can hop right past dining tables during breakfast, creating an unexpected closeness with wild animals while eating. This rare blend of dining and free-roaming wildlife interaction sets the experience apart.
