Tickets are valid for five days. For an extra special experience book for Breakfast with the Birds or Lunch with the Lorikeets. The Predator Plank is a walkway across the saltwater-croc enclosure, while nocturnal visits (adult/child/family $43/32/118) are also possible.

The park is included in the Capta 4 Park Pass (www.capta.com.au), which offers discounted entry to four Far North Queensland attractions.
