Alice Springs - Desert Park

A must see for every visitor to Alice! In the space of just a few hours, you can discover many of the secrets of the Central Australian deserts at the Desert Park.
Hundreds of species of plants and animals found across Central Australian deserts can be seen, smelt and heard.
You will even have the opportunity to experience desert habitats as they are at night, seeing some of the animals near impossible to see in the wild.
Take an easy walking trail through three desert habitats and discover Desert Rivers, Sand Country and the Woodland habitat, witness free-flying birds of prey in the nature theatre, see rare and endangered animals in the spectacular nocturnal house, hear the insights into the interlinking world of plants, animals and people from our local guides and enjoy a cinematic journey through four-and-a-half billion years of desert evolution during the 20 minute cinematic journey of �The Changing Heart�

Window on the Wetlands

Window on the Wetlands Visitor Centre is perched on Beatrice Hill, one of the highest points on the Adelaide River floodplain. The Visitor Centre provides an introduction to the northern coastal wetlands. The upswept line of the roof echoes the wings of the dancing brolga, one of the most spectacular wetland birds.
At the centre you will find interactive displays about seasonal changes, the ecological processes that occur in the wetlands and the problems of feral animals and weeds. Touch-screen computers help you find detailed information on wildlife and local Aboriginal and European history. From the top floor of the Visitor Centre you can enjoy the superb views across the floodplains, especially during the early morning or late afternoon. In the wet season you can see the flooded wetlands and if you are lucky, spectacular lightning storms. Flooded for half of the year and baked for the other half, this is a region of great contrasts.

Adelaide River Queen Cruises

�You're kidding!� Jumping crocodiles, I don't believe it, how can anybody get a wild 6-metre croc to jump right next to a boat and then go and find many more crocs that virtually eat out of your hand? To see crocs make sure you go with someone that knows what they are doing. The ADELAIDE RIVER QUEEN CRUISES has been working with these animals for 27 years and has the knowledge and experience to bring you back in one piece and delighted with the experience.
What's even more amazing is that this attraction is natural; it takes nothing from the crocodile's habitat and changes nothing in the way it lives naturally in the wild. A short interaction of just a few minutes a day ensures that the crocodiles lose none of their natural survival and hunting instincts. You can almost touch these animals through the thick glass windows and together with an informative commentary this experience will leave you with a balanced and informed view of the Australian saltwater crocodile.
