The Australian Reptile Park is experiencing a baby boom, with baby animals centre stage in the daily show line up during the school holidays.

Guests will be able to see various baby animals bonding with their mums in their exhibits including tiny koala joeys slowly starting to poke their heads out to say hello and Lucky the Dingo puppy doing zoomies in her enclosure.

The other cute baby animals that visitors will be able to see during the Winter Holidays will include kangaroo joeys, baby alligators, a wombat joey, squirrel gliders and more.

Park Director, Tim Faulkner, said school holidays were some of his favourite times.

“I love seeing adults and children light up when they see a dingo puppy for the first time, or when they spot a koala joey poking out of its mums’ pouch,” he said.

“As well as admiring our beautiful babies all taking their first steps and bonding with their parents, we hope our visitors find their passion for ensuring the future for these incredible species, as well as educating themselves on how they can help us, help them.”

There will be more than 10 live shows every day of the school holidays, including the Baby Animals Show at 1.15pm daily and interactive walks with some of the Reptile Park stars including Hugo the Galapagos tortoise, Komodo dragons and dingoes.

The Australian Reptile Park is accepting Dine & Discover NSW vouchers.
