So meaning I can only see them and not pet them unless I pay the extra 40$? Please let me know what I can do with just the entrance fee and if so, how long I should spend here. Thank you!

Yep! Agree with above! Up to you how much more you want to do but a bag of feed for the Kangaroos is enough to see these beautiful animals up and close! Plenty to see without …
