What travellers are saying
- byrnespetergeelong13 contributionsWe cycled from Alice Springs on a great car free trail 7km to the Desert Park. We spent 5 hours there!
It was brilliant. Great for families. Dont miss the bird presentation!!Written 30 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We loved getting to see the kangeroos in a more natural environment than the zoo and learning about them. The staff were amazing and so invested in their work. Seeing the baby kangeroos was the cherry on top - especially knowing they will likely be released back into the wild when older.
What a wonderful placeWritten 12 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

An incredible experience in the Australian semi-arid bush with wonderful views at every turn. The scenery changes so much along the length of the West McDonald Ranges, which was unexpected and kept me thinking it couldn't get any better - but it did! Orminston Pound was my favourite spot - definitely do the Pound Walk as a side trip to the Larapinta. Mount Sonder for sunrise was amazing too!Written 16 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Lorraine LTarwin Lower, Australia2,963 contributionsWe visited the Telegraph Station at Alice Springs, there are nine structures here all in very good condition. The station has been set up well as a tourist destination and you enter the station beside a cafe/souvenir shop. We had a good look around Robb likes to read the boards and then pass the information on to me. We lucked out today because the Morse Code club spends a week here each year and it happened to be this week, we were fortunate enough to see a demonstration on sending messages through morse code and one of the club members gave us a brief but interesting history or this form of messaging through the years. There are some beautiful walks around here which seem to be very popular with the locals.Written 30 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We joined in with the demonstration at 11.00am and found the zoo keeper to have lots of knowledge about her subject and we had the chance to hold some of the reptiles or pat them as they passed us by. We learnt a lot taking part in this demonstration.Written 30 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lorraine LTarwin Lower, Australia2,963 contributionsWe visited here the day after ANZAC Day. The views from up here over Alice Springs are outstanding and it was lovely to see so many wreaths around the cenotaph.Written 30 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Karl and the staff are so helpful and knowledgeable and will ship your purchase anywhere in Australia.Written 24 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Pete BCairns, Australia24 contributionsThe sheer size and scope of this place is amazing. Really interesting, we spent 3 hours there. They also have a campground out the back with powered sites so we stayed there overnight. Government funding has ceased so they're relying mostly on volunteers to keep it going. Road transport is entwined in the history and DNA of Alice Springs so it would be a shame if this place had to close down.Written 1 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Hubby and kids had a dip - freezing but refreshing
Very good undercover picnic areas, bbq facilitiesWritten 31 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - byrnespetergeelong13 contributionsWe hired a 4wd on two occasions via Emily at the Visitors Centre.
I made several changes and at all times Emily was extremely helpful.
It was certainly easier than shopping arund myself and l received good value deals.Written 30 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

When we were there the cafe wasn't open, and we didn't see any rock wallabies (though we save "evidence" of them), however, a chance to explore the outback when you're in Alice Springs is, in my opinion, a must do.Written 10 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
