Visitors can also enjoy wildlife encounters, take souvenir photos with animals and join Hartley’s Koala Breakfast, which pairs a hot Australian breakfast with a koala experience. The park provides dining and shopping options, visitor facilities, and information to help guests plan their visit. It is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., except Christmas Day and during the Cairns Ironman highway closure.
