Positives:

  • Accessibility: Ample free parking at the entrance and flat, paved paths make the park easy to navigate.
  • Included Encounters: General admission includes multiple animal presentations and farmyard meet-and-greets at no extra cost.

Challenges:

  • Limited Shade: Some paths and seating areas have minimal shade; bring a hat and sunscreen on sunny days.
  • Advance Booking: Paid extras like the Penguin Encounter and Personal Koala Experience can sell out quickly; book early online.

Affordable place to bring your little kids and especially if you’re an animal lover. You can get up close the different native Australian animals. They look well taken care of and because it’s a sanctuary (and not a zoo), they have some pretty strict rules.

You could tell the animals were well taken care of. Being able to interact with the Kangaroos was incredible. The photo op ...

We visited the zoo with our family, including relatives who came all the way from Singapore, and everyone had a wonderful time!

The kids especially had a blast — they were so excited to see the animals and loved exploring every part of the zoo. They even got little “passports” stamped at different stations, wh...

Definitely 5 stars! I had never seen many of the animals here. I felt like a big kid who was discovering new things. The photo op with the koala was priceless. The layout could be better, but there was a map to assist. The gift shop had since good deals. I’d 100% recommend this place.

The best experience ever. Honestly a dream come true to feed quokkas and have them cuddle in my lap. Feeding the wombats and kangaroos were also amazing. If you're looking for a way to see Australian animals up close this is how you do it.

When is the best time to visit Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park (Sydney, Australia)?

Visit early in summer (Dec–Feb) to avoid heat and see active wildlife. Spring (Sep–Nov) is best for spotting joeys. In winter (Jun–Aug), crowds are smaller and kangaroos roam more.
