Take your family to a park filled with fun and adventure
The Adventure Park is Port Moresby’s only theme park and features an assortment of rides and attractions including a delightful Ferris wheel with fine views across the plains at 14 Mile, water-slides, paddle-boats, and a colourful merry-go-round to rival Mary Poppins’ adventures.
Equally colourful is the display of native orchids found at the National Orchid Gardens at the edge of the Park. The gardens house the largest collection of orchids in the Southern Hemisphere. All year round, you can explore over three thousand orchid species, unique to Papua New Guinea. Peak flowering season for most orchids is between December and March.
Discover iconic birds and animals such as the Ragianna bird-of-paradise with its dazzling colors and plumage, the daunting saltwater crocodile, the flamboyant Victoria Crowned pigeons, and the furry tree kangaroo. Take note of the crocodile feeding time (Saturday & Sunday at 3 pm), a spectacle in itself.
There are winding pathways to other attractions like the Wildlife Sanctuary, train and man-made ponds filled with fish. You can hire rods and reels from the shop – there is a competition running and prizes awarded to those that manage to catch a tagged fish, this is a fun activity for the entire family.
Indulge in an afternoon walk in the park, one of the best ways to relax in Port Moresby. The handsome grounds are as picturesque as they are inviting.
