Wild New Party Adventure Packages
No hidden costs! Everything included!
Choose from 3 different adventures:
Wild Walkabout • Reptile Rampage • Cuddly Critters
Perfect for kids from 3 to 15 years old (ask us about our grown up party adventures too).
Under an hour from almost anywhere, Walkabout Park is situated on the northern outskirts of Sydney (just near the Hawksbury River on the Central Coast). And there's no cleaning up afterwards, just an easy drive home with the children tired, happy and with so much to talk about.
You've done McDonalds. You've done home parties and cleaned up afterwards. You've even done the zoo. So now its time for something completely different! A bush adventure in the great outdoors, learning all about the world around us.
All parties are adjusted to be age-appropriate.

Please let us know at time of booking if you will be paying for them, or if you will be telling them that you have arranged discounted entry for them and they will pay for themselves.
What makes parties at Walkabout Park so special?
Instead of clowns, we've got rangers, and they're a whole lot more fun
Instead of a jumping castle, we've got acres of bush filled with friendly animals
Instead of lollies, we go on a bush tucker walkabout
Instead of face-paint out of a tube, we grind up ochre like the Aboriginal people did
Instead of neighbours, we've got 80 acres of bush to explore and no-one to complain about the noise
Instead of the same old party games, we play bush games that you won't be able to stop talking about
And that's about as special as you'll get!
What to wear and bring
Bring a water bottle, or buy bottled water in our shop
If it is raining, bring your rain gear as the fun never stops at Walkabout Park
Wear sensible closed walking shoes
Bring sunscreen and insect repellant
Reserving a date
Parties at Walkabout Park are popular so be sure to book well in advance, especially if you want a Saturday or Sunday. The core party fee (10 children plus 1 adult) is payable at time of booking, with the balance for any extras payable on the day of your party. Once we receive your payment we reserve the date for you even if it means turning other business away, so the deposit is not refundable except in exceptional circumstances. But you can change the date with 24 hours or more notice.
And we don't forget the grown-ups. If it all gets too much, you can escape to the café with its wonderful wrap-around veranda. Take a quiet moment to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee.
