    Great activity with pups!

    Had a great time with the pups! Onyx Cave is dog friendly, but just a warning that is wet in the cave. The park is rather spread out, but you can rent a golf cart and it’s well worth it, especially if you have done other caving activities before coming there. Dogs can’t go in the Kangaroo/wallaby enclosure so we took turns. Highly recommend!

    Fun Zoo

    The zoo activities are spread out and there's lots of walking. It was very hot so we rented a golf cart and it was well worth the cost. Get there early or reserve a day ahead if you want one. We took the dogs on the cave tour would advise that you heed their warnings about difficult terrain, especially if you have an older or larger dog. The stairs are narrow and the spaces are tight so be extra careful.

    Awesome.

    Very welcoming and pet friendly. They do have dogs on the property that run loose. Dogs can go in the cave but it is wet and very narrow. Was kind of difficult. Animals loved Bayleigh. They were curious with her and came to investigate.
