The park is divided into 14 zones, including the nine-storey high Lory Loft which houses over 10 species of coloured lories and lorikeets – you can even try your hand at feeding them at $5/food portion.
Another must-visit is the Waterfall Aviary, where over 600 birds fly free in one of the world’s largest walk-in aviaries, with enclosures reaching an imposing height of 35 metres.
