Access to Cleland Wildlife Park will be temporarily unavailable on Thursday, 23 January, from 11 am to 12:30 pm due to the Tour Down Under. This closure affects Mount Lofty Summit Road between Greenhill Road and Crafers.

Keeper Talks

Our keepers are the heart of Cleland Wildlife Park. Their dedication to caring for our animals and sharing their stories with visitors plays a vital role in our conservation efforts. You can be part of these special moments by joining a keeper talk, where you’ll learn about the animals' history, their roles in the ecosystem, and what they get up to each day. You might even catch some eager critters enjoying a meal!

Please note, due to different animal requirements and behaviours, keeper talks are guided by daily weather conditions and are not held if forecast temperatures exceed 37 degrees. Please speak with one of our friendly ticket office staff upon arrival.
