Do I need to print my ticket?

No. Your mobile ticket can be scanned directly from your phone at the entrance — no printing needed.

Is the Breakfast with Koalas worth the upgrade?

If you want a more intimate wildlife moment to start your visit, yes. The breakfast option gives you time with koalas before the main crowds arrive.

Are children admitted free?

Children under 3 years of age enter free of charge. All children must be accompanied and actively supervised by a paying adult at all times.

How do I get to Hartley's from Cairns?

Hartley's sits on the Captain Cook Highway at Wangetti, north of Cairns. Transport is not included, so you'll need to drive or arrange your own transfer.

Can I cancel my booking if my plans change?

Please check the cancellation policy shown at checkout — terms will be confirmed at the time of booking.

Is the attraction suitable for people with limited mobility?

The site has outdoor areas and varied terrain. We'd recommend contacting Hartley's directly ahead of your visit if you have specific accessibility requirements.
