Changes are on the horizon at Tiger Island! With over $50 million invested in new attractions and area upgrades at Dreamworld, we're adjusting the behind-the-scenes operations and enhancing our guest-facing habitats. Our goal is to create more immersive and intimate experiences for our guests, allowing you to get closer than ever to our magnificent tigers.
During the construction phase, you might notice some temporary changes to your visit, including reduced daily presentations and occasional absences of tigers from display areas. We’re working hard to minimize any impact on your experience and ensure the well-being of our tigers. For the latest updates and to plan your visit, please check our daily entertainment schedule here. We appreciate your understanding and can’t wait for you to see the exciting new developments!

Life on Tiger Island
Less than 4,000 remain
There are approximately 4,000 tigers remaining in the wild and their survival is constantly threatened.
Three subspecies extinct
With three subspecies already extinct, the plight of the tiger is a serious problem largely caused by humans in three major ways: hunting, poaching and destruction of the habitat.
At the current rate of poaching and habitat loss, it is estimated that tigers in the wild could completely disappear within the next ten years.
We're their voice
Through the Dreamworld Wildlife Foundation (DWF), we endeavour to be the voice for those that cannot speak. By backing global conservation initiatives and fostering education around endangered species since 2012, we are helping to make a dramatic change. More than $3.5 million dollars has been raised through DWF to help save species such as tigers, koalas, bilbies and tree kangaroos.
