This park is one of the best we have visited. The range of birds is outstanding.
An entrance fee of 20$ for the "Toy Soldier Museum", the "Lace Place", the "Offroad Museum" and the "Wildlife Park" sounds good right?
Well, the "Toy Soldier Museum" might be cool to see for kids, but the tables are overcrowed with toys and lack a nice form of presentation. Please invest some time to place them more nicely and distribute them over more tables. Enough space is available. Then, this museum can even be rated a solid 3 or 4 star.
The "Wildlife Park" was by far the worst experience. Some animals could roam freely others are held in tiny cages. A lama (or alpaca) was visible suffering when walking (one leg was shaking heavily). HELP THIS POOR ANIMAL OR PUT IT DOWN! The "Wildlife Park" is just a whole disgrace and nothing children should see and think this is the standard to take "care" of animals.
The "Lace Place" shows some weeding dresses from the last decades and a old car. You wouldn't miss much, when skipping.
This place is a nice little hidden gem definitely worth a look.
Entry fee was very fair, and It has a great rustic country vibe. The park is heaps bigger than you'd expect looking at it from the front, so give yourself an hour or so..
The animals were varied and many from birds to reptiles, and the kids got to experience close encounters with some beautiful kangaroos thanks to the informative and friendly Matthew, who was only too happy to offer information and introductions to the animals.
We were glad we checked it out and definitely recommend a visit.
Would love to see the park get a little more government funding in future to help with improvements, but given the somewhat isolated location they're doing a good job.

What a beautiful wild life park in Hyden, WA. A must visit place!!!!!. Seriously, everyone (all age groups) thoroughly enjoyed this park. It is really maintained very well, a clean environment for the birds and animals. Although it is not huge in size, we saw so many rare varieties in an easily walkable place. very green environment and our special thanks goes to Matthew (10/10) who explained everything in detail, also allowed to feed and touch some of the animals.
Wave Rock and Hippos Yawn are well worth the visit. It is an easy walk to Wave Rock from the car park.
There is An easy 25min walk from Wave Rock to Hippos Yawn or you can drive 2mins from Wave Rock to Hippos Yawn.
