Lonely Planet review

They call it Jungle Island now, but it'll always be Parrot Jungle to us, a glorious homage to tourism kitsch. Anyways, this is one of those places kids beg to go, so just give up and prepare for some bright-feathered, bird-poopie-scented fun. Actually, the 18-acre waterfront facility, lushly landscaped and using a minimum of pesticides, is pretty impressive, thanks in part to the parrots, macaws, flamingos and cockatoos flying about in outdoor aviaries.

The Cape Penguin colony is especially cute. Other critters include snakes, crocodiles, gibbons and orangutans, and don't worry, the walkways are covered against both rain and bird turds.
