  What a great experience! The zoo keepers were lovely and super informative. We were lucky enough to see all animals except the bilby. One recommendation would be some additional lighting or signage from the car park, hard to work out where to go when you get there in the dark.

  Great tour, very informative. We got to see 7/7 of the animal species and multiple times. According to tour guide it doesn’t happen often but we were lucky.

  We had such a fantastic experience on the Desert Park nocturnal tour! Exploring the desert under the night sky was magical, and seeing the wildlife in their natural environment was something truly special. A huge thank you to the guides, Stef and Cassandra, who made the night unforgettable. Our guide Stef was warm, knowledgeable, and passionate, and her stories brought the desert to life. Stef answered all our questions with so much care and made the whole group feel engaged and included. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting—it's a unique way to experience the desert and learn about the incredible animals that call it home!

  We were at Desert Park for seven hours today! Had no idea it would be that good 🤣 and completely overstayed. We listened to about 5 of the daily talks, all great but particularly enjoyed the birds of prey show. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and generous with their time. Had a picnic lunch in the picnic area in the carpark, and a coffee and treat at the cafe. Cafe was classy, with good coffee. Great facilities - impressed by the function centre, and the fact they hire out mobility scooters. Alice Springs should be pretty proud of Desert Park.

  Got to see all the possible animals in their natural habitat. My only gripe is that it's difficult getting to and from the park, especially since Uber is not in Alice Springs

  The leaders were very knowledgeable and informative but in a fun way! We saw many native mammals on our walk which was just so delightful. I was enthralled. My only concern was that I couldn’t hear our leader as I was towards the back of the group, so I missed a lot of information. My suggestion would either be headsets linked to the leader or much smaller groups - limited to 6 maybe.

  An amazing experience of viewing threatened Australian marsupials in a protected area. Our guide Bronte was terrific, she was passionate and full of facts about the animals. We saw marla, bandicoots, stick ness rats, yet the echidnas stole the show as they hunted for food & followed up around.
