Other adults at the party can order food and drinks from the general menu at their own cost. Other adults and any children present but not booked to attend the party are required to pay the normal entry fees for entry to the Animal Park and Mini-Golf. Please note that all children regardless of their age need to pay to be part of the party group, to receive party food, participate in the catered for activities and place set at the birthday table and this includes children aged 2 and 3 years of age.

Party Plus##

Why not make this special day an even greater and more memorable experience for your child by paying for a party ‘PLUS’ option. On top of all of the above your party ‘plus’ will also include a private ‘meet the animal interaction session’ where a keeper will provide information about the species during a fun close-up session with one of the animals in a private area just for your party group. The birthday child will get to touch the animal under supervision with your choice of one of the following animals:

  • Koala: Special entry inside the koala habitat area to see the koalas up close
  • Dingo: Meet one of our dingoes and shatter the common myths around this species
  • Snake or Lizard: Meet one of our snakes up close and learn why they should be respected rather than feared.

Conditions Final numbers must be confirmed at least 24 hours before the start of the party and that is the minimum cost that you will be charged for, regardless of how many children actually attend on the day. The balance of payment must be received during booking, however, your Booking confirmation will provide a link where you can add additional children and add-ons that will be available up to 24 hours before the start of the party. Please keep in mind that you will be unable to lower the number of children, so we recommend booking accordingly. Parents and guardians are expected to supervise the children at all times in all areas including the animal park, shop area and Mini-Golf area.

Please be considerate of other paying guests that may also be in the animal park and Mini-Golf areas.
