Discover Fleay’s wildlife at twilight and experience one of the oldest living cultures in the world, that of the Yugambeh Aboriginal people. These holidays we’ll open after dark for you to enjoy a Jellurgal cultural experience and Park Ranger wildlife presentation.

We have partnered with the Jellurgal Cultural Centre, to take you on a journey of discovery of the Yugambeh Aboriginal people, the custodian owners of the Gold Coast. Without threat or fear, they respected and shared the resources of this beautiful and bountiful coastal paradise for thousands of years before the first European settlers arrived on their doorstep. Join the Yugambeh Aboriginal people as they take you on a mesmerising journey of storytelling, song and dance. You’ll learn about their culture, spirituality and society.

Discover some of Australia’s unique wildlife in a Park Ranger presentation. Then explore the park after dark - it is when most Australian wildlife are active. The Nocturnal House will be a hive of activity, with platypus, mahogany gliders and greater bilbies. In the Ring Dam look for the red eyes of the crocodiles under the lights and then wander to the rainforest to see the cassowaries feeding. Night time is when the koalas are also most active.
Established in 1951, by David Fleay, today the park is inspired by the memory of the naturalist and his conservation efforts. Ahead of this time, Dr Fleay insisted that the park animals should be kept in as natural a habitat as possible. Today we are the only Queensland Government owned and operated wildlife park. The natural enclosures you see reflect Dr Fleay's philosophy, research, breeding and education.
