Wildlife Experiences
Make your day special with one of our fantastic Animal Experiences. Be sure to catch up with the Rangers at one of the many ‘Feeding Times’ or, for a truly unforgettable experience, book an exclusive Animal Close Encounter to go inside the enclosures and get one-on-one with koalas, dingos, pythons and more!
Feeding Times
Be sure to check out the Feeding Times Board at the top of the trail to know where and when the action is happening. Witness a game of Tug o’ War with our Tassie Devils, see the Owls swoop down for a tasty snack or perhaps be lucky enough to see a Snake strike out for his lunch! Don’t forget to say G’day to our friendly Rangers who will be there to share plenty of fun facts and answer all your wildlife questions.
Close-Up Encounters
Take your brush with the wild to the next level by adding on a Close-Up Encounter with our adorable wildlife. Whether you are looking for cute, cuddly, chatty or even a little bit cheeky, we’ve got the encounter just for you.
