Alice Springs Desert Park Tours and Tickets

Explore the plants, animals, and people of the desert during a self-guided visit to Alice Springs Desert Park. Learn about the arid regions of central Australia from interpretative displays and daily talks by the staff. Find out who resides in a waterhole and which critters come out at night, among other fun facts.

Most visitors experience Alice Springs Desert Park during the day, but this evening tour offers a rare chance to explore the desert after dark, when the environment comes to life in a completely different way. Join your guide on a nighttime walking tour and discover how plants and animals adapt to cooler desert temperatures. As nocturnal creatures begin to emerge, keep watch for species such as echidnas and mala, and gain insight into Australia’s central desert ecosystems in a setting few visitors get to experience.
