Alice Springs Desert Park
By means of an easy 1.6 km (1-mile) trail through three reconstructed natural habitats, this impressive wildlife and flora park shows you 120 or so of the animal species that live in the desert around Alice but that you won’t spot too easily in the wild (including kangaroos you can walk among). Most of the creatures are small mammals (like the rare bilby), reptiles (cute thorny devil lizards), and birds. Don’t miss the excellent Birds of Prey show at 10am and 3:30pm. There’s a cafe here, too. Allow 2 to 3 hours to see it all.
