Animal & Wildlife Experiences
around SE Queensland
South-east Queensland is spoilt for choice when it comes to getting up-close-and-personal with creatures great and small at local animal farms, wildlife parks and animal centres.
Some of them you'll discover right in our own backyard, and some are an easy drive away from Brisbane, making for a great day out for the entire family to enjoy.
With so much to experience, these small, animal-focussed businesses are well worth a visit to learn more about our amazing Australian native animals plus farm animals and introduced species. And take the camera... the number of Instagrammable pics is limitless!
Delightfully so for the foodies in the fam, a number of the farms even stock their own range of products made onsite to enjoy - think award-winning cheese, creamy home-made gelato and more thanks to their resident goats, sheep and camels. So, pack the esky and relish in the knowledge that you know exactly where your food was produced.
Don't forget to ask about family entry passes, as well as annual passes so you can keep going back to say hello!
