Review & FAQ:
Jungle Island is an interactive zoological park in Watson Island that offers an interactive experience with a variety of extraordinary animals and birds from around the globe. Founded in 1936 as Parrot Island with the idea of having free-flying birds, the park began to include a range of exotic wildlife, including rare twin orangutans and a cassowary and evolved to become Jungle Island. The family-friendly theme park features a variety of exciting and interactive exhibits, displays and habitats in which the animals and birds live, such as the ‘Serpentarium,’ which is home to a variety of snakes, lizards and snapping turtles. The park is home to a 900-pound ‘liger’ (a cross between a lion and a tiger) called Hercules and the Parrot Bowl in which an impressive array of birds, including an Andean condor and a King Vulture, reside. There is a petting zoo where young children can enjoy close-up interactions with several domestic and exotic animals, including red kangaroos.
