About this experience
At the Territory Wildlife Park, not only do you see the top End's native animals up-close in their natural habitats – you can meet them as you walk through tree top aviaries, stroll around a natural lagoon, or hike the tracks through native woodlands. You even get to interact with them during daily presentations. You'll love the Nocturnal House where you can see the animals that only come out night and the daily Flight Deck presentation featuring free flying birds.
The Territory Wildlife Park has around 6km of easy to moderate walking tracks. You can also hire a bike or bring your own to experience the different habitats between major exhibits – or jump on one of the courtesy shuttle trains that leave the Main Station every 30 minutes, from 9:30 am until 3:30 pm.
