As well as being a fantastic place to visit, Caversham Wildlife Park is helping conserve Australian wildlife.

The Caversham Wildlife Park is home to more than 200 native Australian species, with about 2000 individual animals, birds and reptiles you can see up close and interact with.
Visitors to the park are able to interact with animals, learn localised information and get some fantastic photos.
The park plays an important role in wildlife conservation, which is one of the main reasons the staff try to educate the public.
The park has been accredited with the Zoo and Aquarium Association, making sure to provide happy lives for the animals.
While the wild is romanticised as a wonderful place for animals to live, it is unfortunately not always safe for Australian animals. The animals in captivity are able to lead much safer lives.
Every member of this family owned and operated business is dedicated to meeting each and every animal’s nutritional, environmental, physical and mental health needs.
Caversham Wildlife Park is home to a number of Quokkas, playing a role in a breeding program to maintain the captive population of the animals Australia wide.
Right on the doorstep of Perth City, Caversham Wildlife Park goes a long way towards maintaining the variety and vibrancy of Australia’s native fauna.
