Cleland Wildlife Park
Travel to Cleland Wildlife Park, an 86-acre (35-hectare) natural bush setting that provides an open-space environment with very few enclosures. Home to more than 130 species of Australian animals, the park is known for its management and care in the health and well being of the animals. As you explore the park and follow the self-discovery trails, walk among the free-roaming animals in their natural environment. See kangaroos, emus, dingoes, Tasmanian devils and many more. Engage with the animals as you hand-feed kangaroos, wallabies and potoroos with provided animal food, and don’t miss one of the interactive keeper talks, a great way to learn about and see the animals in action. The Ocean to Outback interpretive centre provides an opportunity to learn about South Australia’s diverse ecosystems while viewing nocturnal animals, small mammals and reptiles. You'll arrive at Cleland Wildlife Park just before 11am and leave the park around 2.00pm.
Mount Lofty Summit
Heading back to the city you will make short stop at Mount Lofty Summit where you’ll enjoy an amazing panoramic view over the whole of Adelaide. At approximately 710m, the summit is the highest point in the Adelaide Hills with uninterrupted views to the Gulf St. Vincent and as far as the eye can see north and south along the coastline.

Beautiful wildlife park with many animals in open areas. Visitors can take photos of koalas and staff will allow touching them at specific times of the day. Park is clean and well maintained with pleasant staff. There are good walking paths and a nice view of Adelaide. Takes about 3 to 4 hours.

Feeding the kangaroos. They are so gentle One of the best wildlife facilities I have ever visited.. The animals could interact with humans but also had areas free from humans

Nice day at park. Tob was great guide. Time at park seemed about an hour too long. Very limited koala viewing opportunity but kangaroos were plentiful!
