Walking
The Territory Wildlife Park has a network of well-signposted walking tracks. Many exhibits are located close together, making it easy to walk between them.
We recommend exploring the park's 3 main walking tracks to experience its diverse habitats and wildlife:
- Woodland Walk (approximately 600 m)
- Wetlands Walk (approximately 550 m)
- Monsoon Forest Walk (approximately 1,100 m)
Free shuttle train
A free shuttle train operates throughout the day around the park's 4 km loop road. The train stops at each exhibit, allowing visitors to hop on and off as they explore the park.
The first train departs from the Main Station at 9:30 am, with services operating every 30 minutes thereafter.
Sheltered pick-up and drop-off points are located near each exhibit.
The shuttle train can accommodate:
- prams and strollers in the first 2 bays of each carriage
- 1 wheelchair at the rear of the second carriage.
Accessibility for people with disabilities
The Territory Wildlife Park is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming experience for all visitors. We strive to ensure our facilities, services, and experiences are accessible to a wide range of visitors.

- Accessible toilet facilities are available at the main station and aquarium precincts.
- Guide and assistance dogs are welcome.
- Complimentary wheelchair hire is available from the visitor services area. As numbers are limited, pre-booking is recommended.

Families with young children
The park covers a large area. If you are visiting with young children who may find it difficult to walk long distances, we recommend bringing:
- a pram or stroller
- a push trike
- a bicycle and helmet
- a scooter and helmet.
While the shuttle train provides transport between exhibits, visitors will still need to walk from train stops to and through exhibit areas.
Strollers are available for hire from Admissions. A hire fee of $5 applies.
Bike and pedal cart hire
For visitors looking for an alternative way to explore, bikes and pedal carts are available for hire from the visitor services area. With a dedicated 4 km loop road and more than 6 km of walking trails, cycling is a fun and flexible way to experience the park.
Visitors are also welcome to bring their own bicycle. Helmets are provided with all bike hires and are required for anyone riding a bicycle or scooter within the park.
Hire options include
- Adult and children's bicycles
- Berg Family pedal carts (suitable for up to two adults and two children)
Bike and pedal cart hire can be arranged on arrival (subject to availability) or pre-booked when purchasing admission tickets online.
