Paradise Country
Paradise Country Review
Billed as "an authentic Australian farm experience," the park appeals to families with half-day farm tours beginning at 9:30 am, 11:45 am, and 2:15 pm (bookings essential). You'll see displays of horsemanship, sheep shearing, boomerang throwing, and whip cracking. Kids will enjoy koala cuddling and kangaroo feeding. An optional barbecue lunch is accompanied by bush dancing and Aussie-theme live entertainment. The park is directly behind the Australian Outback Spectacular. Car parking spaces are limited.
