Tiger Island Protective Care Project

In November 2022, Dreamworld shared its intention to transition Tiger Island to an environment in which tigers and handlers do not interact directly.

Since this time, Dreamworld has invested significantly in upgrading its tiger habitats and facilities to enable this transition. Construction of the alterations required is near complete.

The safety of team members, guests and animals are Dreamworld’s highest priority. As a result, Dreamworld has now transitioned its tiger program to a non-handled operation.

Tigers remain a critical part of the experience at Dreamworld and for Dreamworld Wildlife Foundation, which has contributed over $2.2 million in funding for tiger conservation projects in the field via Wildcats Conservation Alliance since 2012.

Guests will continue seeing tigers on exhibit, and in time, will receive a reimagined educational presentation at Tiger Island about the importance of tiger conservation.
