Greenough Wildlife and Bird Park is a quaint spot that offers a nice variety of animals, including a wide range of birds like owls and talking parrots, as well as crocodiles, emus, dingoes, lizards, snakes, kangaroos and some farm animals like goats, sheep, a donkey, and a horse. A big positive is the ability to get up close and engage with the animals, even feeding them by hand, which makes it an interactive experience. šš
The staff are very friendly, and the entry fees are affordable, making it a decent stop for families, especially if youāre driving past or looking for something to do with kids. Thereās a rest area and a small shop for snacks and drinks, which is convenient. You can see most of the park in about 30 minutes to an hour, so itās not a full-day activity.
On the downside, the kidsā play area is tiny and not really suitable for small children. While itās a good budget-friendly outing, it might not offer enough to make it a destination in itself unless youāre already in the area. š„±

Ā Ā Ā Read moreAbsolutely love this place. To be clear - this is not a zoo so don't expect one. They recover and rehabilitate local animals here and release them when it's possible.

The staff are incredibly passionate about what they do, helpful and have their hearts in the right place. The price is extremely reasonable considering the experiences on offer. It's an honour to help support such a great cause and the owners are lovely. Keep up the great...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreAbsolutely loved My visit to Greenough Wildlife Park! The owners are incredibly passionate and genuinely care about every animal in their care ā you can really see the love and dedication they put into the park. They were also so friendly and welcoming, happy to chat and share stories about the animals.
Thereās so much to do and see here ā from getting up close with kangaroos, emus, and snakes, to spotting all kinds of fascinating birds and reptiles. Every enclosure was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully set up to keep the animals happy and healthy.
Whether youāre a local or just passing through Geraldton, this place is a must-visit! Itās fun for all ages and a great way to spend a few hours immersed in nature...
