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.

Great Day at Cleland & Mt Lofty
We enjoyed our trip very much, with the close contact feeding the animals at Cleland. The timing we had at the park was just right. We were hosted by Nick, our driver and guide. He was friendly and walked with us throughout, showing us the different animals along the route. I would definitely rate him 5 stars.
via Tripadvisor
Lack of flexibility
Our flight was cancelled the night before. I called them up and spoke to their office and they showed no leniency or understanding. We did not get a refund and they showed no kindness, even when mentioned how excited we were at my mother in laws first trip to Australia and meeting her first koala. There are many tour providers that do this trip and I would recommend booking with one who is more understanding and flexible. We had no refund and were met with rudeness on the phone.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback. We do apologise for the disapointment caused by this situation, however unfortunately due to the last minute nature of this circumstance we were unable to provide a refund, in accordance with our cancellation policy upon booking. We do hope that you can join us if you are back in Australia in the future

Interesting park
It’s not a big park so no more than 3hrs to get round. It Was great that they had a viewing of Koalas where you could have your photo taken, so we met Florence. The larger Kangaroos were friendly letting us stroke & feed them but the baby ones were scared. This is great for children and adults of all ages too.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to leave an awesome review! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your Cleland experience and meeting all the different animals!

Lovely relaxed atmosphere...
Lovely relaxed atmosphere at Cleland. You can wander freely amongst many of the animals and even feed them special food! Close up with a Koala called Florence was a treat, as was seeing Echidna. Would recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your great review! We're glad you enjoyed exploring Cleland Wildlife Park and meeting Florence!

Beautiful wildlife park...
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.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're glad you enjoyed exploring Cleland Wildlife Park.

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cleland Wildlife Park Experience - from Adelaide including Mt Lofty Summit: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Adelaide.
How much does Cleland Wildlife Park Experience - from Adelaide including Mt Lofty Summit cost?
+
Prices start at $90 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Adelaide usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cleland Wildlife Park Experience - from Adelaide including Mt Lofty Summit take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Adelaide is not rushed.
Is Cleland Wildlife Park Experience - from Adelaide including Mt Lofty Summit worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 86 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Adelaide, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cleland Wildlife Park Experience - from Adelaide including Mt Lofty Summit?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cleland Wildlife Park Experience - from Adelaide including Mt Lofty Summit suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Cleland Wildlife Park Experience - from Adelaide including Mt Lofty Summit?
+
Around 30 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Adelaide can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Adelaide and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cleland Wildlife Park Experience - from Adelaide including Mt Lofty Summit start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Adelaide within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Adelaide?
+
On Outty we rank every Adelaide experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Premium Barossa Small Group Tour: Wine tasting, Lunch & Chocolate, Discover Barossa: 4 Wine Tastings, Gourmet Lunch, and Hidden Gems, Adelaide Highlights, Hahndorf & McLaren Vale Wine Tasting and Sightseeing Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Adelaide?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Adelaide?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
