  • A bob-cat pacing up and down a tiny cage, a racoon in a similar state of madness pacing up and down also driven mad in a wholly inadequate size of cage. A golden eagle in a small prison, a vulture...

  • Take the time to stop if you are driving through. Lots for kids to do, dogs are welcome in most outside areas of the park.

  • Edited: Nice place for kids to learn new things and explore... Some things didn't seem correctly priced ... $3 for a stick to attract the butterflies... I saw better butterflies outside in the wild! We barely saw 10 simple butterflies that day... maybe it was the heat, it was 110°... Other people's reviews and pictures are 100x nicer than our experience. While it was so warm kids didn't want to play in the park. I'm sure they would have loved it if the heat wasn't as scorching. The parrots seemed more worth the money... it was $2 for a nectar cup and parrots came straight to you when you get those cups. The Tutankhamun exhibition was nice... it was scary for the little one though (3 year old, got scared of the animal figures) but the teenager loved it all.
  • Took the Family to Turtle Bay Museum for the tree house exhibit. It was so much fun and so many activities to do. My kiddo made a binary bracelet with his initials, chalk art, dressed up in scientist and engineers clothing and got to play in the tree house. The marine exhibit and art gallery exhibit was amazing to view. Our favorite activity is to vote for what to see for future displays. After, we like to go walking to the nursery.
  • Amazing park and museum to spend few hours. Museum is quite small and can be done within an hour. The park is huge and takes couple of hours. The playgrounds are good for kids with zip lining and all. Lorekeets /parrots feeding is a blast and definitely do that
  • Very cool museum. Fun for both kids and adults. The outdoor playgrounds were so creative and a blast for my kiddos. Feeding the birds was my favorite part!
  • I really enjoyed my visit to the Turtle Bay Exploration Park. All three of the main areas (Garden, Museum and Forest Camp) were interesting. Some of the highlights were the Sundial Bridge, King Tut exhibit and the Animal Show.
