Territory Wildlife Park

Last updated February 2026

Territory Wildlife Park offers an immersive journey through the diverse ecosystems of Australia's Top End, located just a 45-minute drive south of Darwin in Berry Springs. The park is thoughtfully divided into distinct habitats, including monsoon forest, wetlands, and woodland, allowing visitors to see native animals in environments that closely mimic their own. Guests can explore the 400 hectares of natural bushland via a complimentary shuttle train or on the extensive walking trails. Key highlights include a walk-through aquarium with a stunning underwater tunnel, a fascinating nocturnal house, and the impressive Birds of Prey show at the Flight Deck. It's an authentic showcase of Northern Territory fauna, from tiny finches to majestic saltwater crocodiles. **What to Bring** Comfortable walking shoes. Sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses. Reusable water bottles. Insect repellent, especially for the wetland areas. Binoculars for spotting animals from a distance. **Best Age Range** Best for children aged 5-14. This age group has the stamina for the large park and can fully appreciate the educational keeper talks and animal shows. Younger children may find the amount of walking tiring, though the shuttle train is a great help. **Good to Know** Ample free parking is available on site. A café is located near the entrance for food and drinks, and picnic areas are available. Plan your visit around the daily schedule of keeper talks and shows to get the most out of your day. The park is large, so allow at least four hours to see the main exhibits. **Nearby** Combine your visit with a trip to Berry Springs Nature Park next door for a refreshing swim in the clear, spring-fed pools. The Darwin International Speedway is also located nearby for motorsport enthusiasts. **Tips From Other Parents** "Arrive early to beat the heat and see the animals when they are most active." "The Flight Deck bird show is a real highlight; check the times and grab a seat early as it's popular." "Use the shuttle train to get to the far end of the park first and work your way back to the entrance."
