The Territory Wildlife Park is a wildlife park with a difference. Set at Berry Springs in the Darwin rural area, the
Park covers an impressive 400 hectares. The Territory Wildlife Park showcases only animals found within the Top End of the Northern Territory, anywhere from around Katherine/Mataranka north. Of course there is also a lot of free living wildlife that visitors to the Territory Wildlife Park might also get lucky enough to see.
The species change throughout the year with the different seasons that are experienced in the Top End but some to look out for include the massive mound nest building Orange Footed Scrub-fowl, Bowerbirds, including their delicately decorated bowers, Emerald Ground-doves, lots of wallabies, small skinks that live in the leaf litter and the infamous Tata Dragon, known for their arm waving antics.
The Territory Wildlife Park is a large space with a 4km Link Road (on which the shuttle train travels) and over 6km of walking tracks. Visitors are permitted to bring their own bikes or scooters to help them move around the Park. Visitors anticipating to ride their own bikes are required to sign in at Admissions and must wear a helmet while in control of the bike or scooter. All riders must obey to the road rules and be courteous to walkers and other people using the walking tracks.
Wheelchairs and prams/strollers are permitted within the Park. Electric Scooters are also permitted, however, while the Aquarium is fully accessible, there are areas within the Park grounds that have difficult access due to slopes or gravel paths.
Weather
The Territory Wildlife Park sits within the Top End of the Northern Territory. This part of Northern Australia experiences a hot, dry season and a humid, wet season. We are predominantly an outdoor venue, so please wear suitable clothes (and footwear) to walk between exhibits. Don’t forget a hat and sunscreen, and pack an umbrella during the wet season. The Park Gift Shop sells ponchos, hats & sunscreen in case you forget them. Most animals don’t mind the rain, but on very hot days, some animals may be less active as they look for shade. Refunds will not be offered for inclement weather or animals resting or sleeping.
The Wet Season is an amazing time to visit. However this part of Australia is subject to heavy downpours and occasionally cyclones. Occasionally the Park will be closed to maintain visitor safety during extreme weather. Please monitor the Territory Wildlife Park Facebook Page for up to date info about the Park during these times.

To decrease fire hazard and ensure the safety and health of visitors, staff, and animals, smoking is not permitted in the public areas at the Park. However, there are designated smoking areas located on your Park map.
Our animals have scientifically formulated diets to ensure their health and well-being. Human food may make them sick. Members of the public are not to feed the animals at any stage (unless accompanied by a keeper). A visitor is not permitted to touch or interfere with any animal or vegetation, climb on, damage or deface any structure or sign. Balloons, streamers, confetti and other choking hazards are prohibited at all times
Rails, moats, and other barriers between you and our animals are there to protect you and the animals from harm. It is especially important not to lift children over rails or rest them on railings, or let them stick fingers or arms through fences. Remember, Park animals are wild animals. Children must be supervised by an accompanying adult at all times. Unaccompanied children (15 and under) will not be permitted to enter the Park.
You are welcome to bring your own food into the Park, and make use of our picnic facilities. Alternatively the Park has a Café supplying a range of yummy food and treats.
Visitors are permitted to use still cameras and video cameras for the recording of Park images for personal use only. Visitors are permitted to bring tripods and are encouraged to take photographs for their personal use and to share their memories with family and friends. All visitors using such equipment are required to stay in visitor areas and to be considerate of other Park users.
We have the authority to close any part of the Park, including any animal exhibit (animals off display) or cancel a Keeper Talk at any time for reasons such as adverse weather, equipment failure, maintenance and construction, or in the interests of safety. We will not be liable for any loss or expense incurred by a guest as the result of such closure. The late arrival of any booking for a Wild Encounter may result in non-admittance.
Visitors may have their photograph taken at any stage by a roving photographer; visitors must clearly indicate if they do not wish to be photographed.
By entering the Territory Wildlife Park, all visitors agree to abide with any other conditions displayed in Park grounds or communicated by Park Staff. The Territory Wildlife Park retains the right to deny access and/or eject visitors who are being a public nuisance, acting recklessly or failing to observe directions from Park Staff, or any Park signage.
