SYMBIO WILDLIFE PARK REVIEWS
One of my best experiences is due to the add-on of Koala Encounter. My family enjoyed the experience all around, from taking photos with the Koalas and playing at the playground. It wasn't crowded or too large that we felt exhausted. We were able to spend a few hours with the kids.
We came here on a Monday with a six month, old son, and we had just the most easy, relaxed and fun filled day. Highly recommend coming on a sunny day to enjoy everything this Park has to offer. We particularly liked the petting zoo with the farm animals as well as the kangaroos, the play park as well with all the equipment available was also super enjoyable. This is a very family friendly place and will be coming here for many years. I’m sure.
What a fantastic experience for the Koala encounter. You are up close and personal with the soft cuddly Koalas. Fed them eucalyptus leaves and Jamba even bellowed for us! Wonderful experience. Also fed the kangaroos up close and personal watching those big middle toes of course and following instructions explicitly.

WOLLONGONG BOTANIC GARDEN REVIEWS
Beautiful place to spend half the day. Gorgeous, immaculately kept gardens with a beautiful array of plants and flowers. We’ll sign posted. Excellent facilities including cafe and playground with a maze. Friendly staff who educated my kids about nature. Loved it and will be back!
A very beautiful place to spend afternoon with kids and family. Free to entry at the time of this review. No pets, skating, or ball games allowed. As they will damage the garden. Toilets were very clean. Look for different types of ducks and birds plus giant eels in the water. You can take some green peas to feed the birds. Best place to take pictures in winter was the colourful cactus.
Well maintained walk ways and beautiful plants lined throughout. Well maintained and a great place to visit if in the area. Walks are great for all ages and fitness levels.

SCIENCE SPACE REVIEWS
Great place to take the kids for a day out. Membership is good value. Probably not much for really young kids, 4 or 5 onwards is a good age to start bringing them. Planetarium is fab. Highly recommend the dinosaur viewing! School holidays are jam packed. Weekends during term much quieter. Great easy parking.
Small in size but mighty in variety. The Space is packed with all sorts of scientific experiment equipment and educational materials. Children (including adults who still have the curiosity) can easily spend whole day there. I personally very enjoyed playing the electrical magnetic crane. The shows are unique and interesting. Love the video shows in the dome. Just be aware there is no barista coffee or hot food shop there at least while I was there during school holiday on Sunday. Amazing place to visit.
My three year old absolutely LOVED it! The science museum was a total hit today. She thought it was better than Disneyland. She tore through the place, so excited. There was even a show (which cost just $4) where a really hot scientist guy made bubbles with bubble wands and explained the science behind them (something about spheres, I dunno!) It seems pretty simple but honestly I haven’t seen her have so much fun in ages.
