If you want to see the Australian dingo at its best, and learn about this misunderstood species then this experience is for you! In this unique experience you will have the opportunity to exclusively enter our Dingo habitat and interact with some of our dingoes. Join our keepers to learn about the species, their threats, conservation status and how you can help while interacting with these intelligent animals. The dingoes will be free to roam around and choose to approach you and you can take as many photos as you like to capture this special moment. Supervised touching of the animals will be allowed if the dingo chooses that interaction. The keepers will educate you on each Dingo by name and character as you immerse yourself in their habitat while allowing time for you to enjoy this special experience.
You can take as many photos as you like on your own devices.
This experience is limited to 8 people per session.
