Bringing the Australian Outback to Life

For an Educational Show, visit Wed, Thurs, and Fri. at 1 PM, 3 PM, and 5 PM.

Saturday at 12:30 PM, 2:30 PM, and 4:30 PM.

Audiences are introduced to the wonders of “Down Under” as they interact with several different species of marsupials (pouched animals) such as kangaroos, wallabies, walleroos. Also offered are other native Australian wildlife including lizards and birds such as the kookaburra, rainbow lorikeet and bearded and frill dragons.

Seeing, touching and hearing the stories behind these captivating creatures during three shows performed daily. As you wander throughout the educational and interactive areas, you learn about native Australian art, musical instruments and other animals, found only in Australia! Aussie Kingdom offers this opportunity of a lifetime, along with an ongoing display of the animals throughout the day.

Coming from Colorado the wonderful little mob of roos are shown by bush guide Carolyn Lantz. "I think we are more likely to preserve what we know," says Lantz, "I truly enjoy showing these animals and helping to educate people on just how unique they are."

Aussie Kingdom is the only traveling Australian Animal Show in the United States and Canada. Out of an overwhelming interest in the pouched wonders of the animal world by fair-goers nationwide, Aussie Kingdom was created in 2007.

Centrally located in Colorado, Founder and President Carolyn Lantz gives fair-goers the opportunity to connect with animals on a personal level. “We’re more likely to preserve and protect what we know,” Ms. Lantz says; speaking of her work with the creatures of Aussie Kingdom.
