Alice Springs Desert Park, Botanical garden and wildlife park in Alice Springs, Australia
The Alice Springs Desert Park spans 1300 hectares, featuring three distinct desert habitats: Desert Rivers, Sand Country, and Woodland connected by a 1.6-kilometer trail.
The Northern Territory government established this environmental education facility in March 1997, dedicating 52 hectares as the core area for native species preservation.
The park integrates Arrernte people's knowledge through presentations about traditional water sourcing, food gathering, and desert plant applications in Aboriginal daily life.
Located at 871 Larapinta Drive, the park operates daily from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM with entry fees of 20 dollars for adults and 10 dollars for children.
The Nature Theatre presents free-flying birds of prey demonstrations, while the Nocturnal House displays desert creatures active during nighttime hours.
