Unlike Adelaide other zoos, the Gorge Wildlife Park on the edge of Adelaide Mountain (Adelaide Hills) is a private zoo. Gorge Wildlife Park about 30 kilometers from the Adelaide city center, zoo owners are keen on environmental protection and animal protection, travel around the world to buy and collect and adopt a lot of rare animals. You can see not only kangaroos (and rare white kangaroos), cormorants, ostriches and other animals that are common in australia, but also rare monkeys from the south american rain forest, giraffes from the african grasslands, camels from the Arab desert and mongoose (Hakuna-Matata) from the lion king, and a cage of large bats that are not only night-only (bold but also feeding bats), alligators, otters and other rare birds from the jungles of southeast asia.
One of the most exciting things about the zoo is that it's free to hold a koala, where visitors can hold a koala at a designated location for three hours a day. So even though the zoo is relatively remote, and its facilities are a bit less modest than public zoos, and it occupies far less space than the cleland wildlife park, the low price of tickets, a wide variety of exotic animals, and the attractive gimmick of free pucola make it popular.
The free time of Baucola is 11:30,13:30 and 15:30 per day, and if the weather forecast temperature exceeds 34 degrees on that day, it will be cancelled twice in the afternoon, leaving only 11:30.
At 12.30 pm –3.00pm, on the last Sunday of each month, breeders bring small animals, including Australian wild dogs, birds and reptiles, out of their cages to give visitors a close look at them.
