David Fleay Wildlife Park on the Gold Coast
A Pleasant Stroll Through Nature
Calling all nature enthusiasts! If you’re looking for nature therapy, you can’t go past David Fleay Wildlife Park on the Gold Coast. Discover quirky creatures you won’t see at other zoos or wildlife parks, catch awesome wildlife shows by real Park Rangers and Wildlife Experts, and kids can even become a ranger for the day! Nestled in the heart of Burleigh Heads, this park is a beautiful adventure for families and outdoors lovers.
Stroll through the tranquil environment to experience some of Australia’s native animals in their untouched habitat. Not your average zoo, you’ll find animals simply existing in nature in their complementary setting. A highlight is meeting Queensland Park Rangers who have dedicated their lives to the preservation of flora and fauna. Look for koalas, kangaroos, emus, crocodiles, cassowaries, and platypus. Enjoy the Flight Show, in which large birds of prey wow and amaze with spectacular speed and wingspan. Fleay’s is the only place to see the shy bridled nail tail wallaby – thought to be extinct for over 30 years.
Spend the rest of your day exploring this extraordinary corner of planet Earth. Burleigh Heads, one of our favourite places, is worth visiting. Take a walk along Burleigh Head National Park for breathtaking sea views that stretch beyond your imagination. Visit Black Hops Brewery for a cool craft beer experience. If it’s Sunday, don’t miss the Village Markets for a collection of beautiful artisan wares and delicious bites to eat. Indulge in a fancy lunch at Rick Shores for THAT view. Or simply laze around on the sands of Burleigh beach. Burleigh has a magic that we can’t articulate in words; you’ll have to discover it for yourself.
