Endeavour Adventures

Alice Springs Desert Park. Located not far from the centre of town this fantastic facility houses not only some solid creatures built to handle the outback but also lovely knowledgeable staff.
They host a variety of talks over the course of the day so try get a timetable so you can plan around your kids needs. We did the nocturnal talk and the bird show and absolutely loved both.
A real highlight for Shannon is that the park has a more natural feel with large open spaces for the animals.
BYO lunch as the cafe is currently closed but there is a fabulous picnic area for eating at that is well shaded.
