About

Our interactive experience is full of fascinating and immersive exhibits complete with its own theatre. All visitors to the Gateway Experience have access to the Curio Guide, a mobile guide that offers further interactive content to support your exploration of the outside environment. Curio Bay's 170 million year old Petrified forest is recognised as one of the best examples of Jurassic Fossil Forest in the world. The Living Forest is a direct descedent of the Petrified Forest and thought to be the only place in the world where a direct descendent lies so close to its petrified counterpart.

After visiting these amazing sites call in at our cafe/restuarant and purchase some merchandise, or book a camping spot in our natural flax areas.
