Review
“MY favorite business in Port Stephens in Oakvale Farm, as it has become a bit of a family tradition, as I took my children there and now they are taking their children there, we go as often as we can, the kids just love the freedom to roam about. We always make a big day out of our visits there.” Lis
“Absolutely love Oakvale Farm- fabulous family day out… Oakvale Farm is fabulous because it’s very interactive with animals- kangaroos, goats, farm animals & even patting koalas! Plus it’s got a covered BBQ/ seating area & fabulous playground equipment also.” Chantelle
“Our overseas Canadian family and friends always rave about feeding koalas and petting kangaroos without the major lineups at Taronga Zoo. I’m taking another visitor there in two weeks!” Sharon

Review
“I thought that Dizzyland was fantastic when I went last xmas holidays. I used my Lucky Locals card and it was so cheap for a day of unlimited fun. The water slides were a huge hit for Mr 6 year old and I enjoyed my free rides as an accompanying adult on the dodgems in particular! If you are after value for money with kids…Dizzyland is it!”

The colourful ballooning parachute is winched into the air from a speed boat and enables parasailers to see Port Stephens from a rare and fascinating angle. Taking off and landing straight from the boat makes this experience easy for everyone. The sight from above of many of the bay’s approximately 160 dolphins is an exhilarating visual treat.
