You can see lots of different animals such as fallow deer, a llama, donkeys, goats and a variety of birds such as ducks, geese, peacocks, pheasants, chickens and turkeys.
It is open year-round as some of the animals love being outside in the winter. Hundreds of tourists visit the animals every year and bring them treats such as corn and carrots.
Important note: Please do not feed the animals anything other than corn, carrots and similar items. They do not like to eat house plants or other human food.
The animal park is overseen by the West Perth Lions Club so please direct all inquiries to the Mitchell Lions by email, or call them directly at (519) 301-8498
