  • Amazing. Such a great place to bring young children. We loved seeing the kangaroos and all the other animals walking around. The cave tour was just long enough.

  • Very clean, well kept. Lots of hills so the golf carts are a huge necessity. All staff are friendly. The cave tour guide is funny and makes it enjoyable. My family and myself had a great time. Getting to interact with the Kangaroos was amazing. The birds were very pretty. It was fun inside the bird cage.
  • We live about 4 hours away from Kentucky Down Under and it was a perfect day trip. Absolutely worth while and memorable! Feeding and petting the kangaroos was a wonderful experience for myself and my kids. The Land of Lorries was also so fun, with bird flying all around and landing wherever they want- include on top of heads. The cave tour was short, but beautiful. Gift shop had a great selection! Also loved all of the amazing wood carvings throughout the entire park! Overall wonderful place for kids and adults alike!
  • Nice place to visit. The cave tour was nice without a lot of narrative. Lasted approximately 35 minutes. The animals in the zoo were well kept. Wolves and foxes were active despite being hot. Birds were on full display. Kangaroos and emus were easily approached and we enjoyed the albino roos a lot. Great place to bring the little ones!
  • We had a group of 11, made reservations online for a golf cart and believe me with the steep hills and wonderfully spaced out exhibit areas it's a must. We went to celebrate my Granddaughter’s 10th birthday and Mother's Day. The ages in our group ranged from 10-63, a very diverse group and the 15 yr old loved it as did the late teens early 20s did. The adults as well it was a fun experience for all of us. All the staff was friendly and patient with all the questions asked. Everything to me was fairly priced. The gift shop was nicely equipped, the fudge is wonderful. The cave tour was short but very interesting. There is a staircase and Steep 44 steps coming back up. If you have knee problems you might want to rethink going but that's up to you. The price of the cave is included in your ticket. Go if you can you won't be sorry. The pricing is great.
  • Great little stop to walk around and see some animals. They have a good selection of birds/parrots and other smaller animals like wolfs, and foxes. But the best part is the feeding section. There is a feeding for goats but then next to that is a gated area you can go to feed and pet kangaroos, emus, and wallaby!! It's really fun and a neat experience! The feed can be a little expensive (up to 10 bucks for a 8oz cup) but it's worth it! If you need to pass some time go and pet some kangaroos!!!
