Australian Wildlife Experience, Theme park in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia

The Australian Wildlife Experience is a theme park on the Gold Coast featuring multiple zones with over 500 native animal species alongside water rides and thrill attractions. The layout allows visitors to see animals in settings that resemble their natural habitats.

The park opened in 2001 as part of Queensland's strategy to develop the Gold Coast with wildlife education attractions. This initiative prioritized both conservation and visitor experiences.

The park shares Aboriginal perspectives on wildlife, showing visitors how indigenous peoples have lived alongside these animals for thousands of years.

The park provides wheelchair access throughout all areas and offers rental strollers along with rest zones and water stations near animal enclosures. Plan which zones to visit and how long to spend at each attraction before arriving.

Visitors can hand-feed kangaroos and wallabies during scheduled sessions in open areas designed for direct contact with these animals. These encounters let you observe their behavior and gentle nature up close.
