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. I enjoyed my visit here very much, wished I had bought the kangaroo food before they sold out though. Friendly staff as well who will give exp...

My wife and I visited Featherdale Wildlife Park and it was one of the highlights of our visit to Australia. Definitely 5 stars! We were thrilled to see so many animals native to Australia - animals that we had never seen before. All of the employees were helpful and pleasant. You could tell the animals were well taken care of. Being able to interact with the Kangaroos was incredible. The photo op ...

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.
In summer, start before 10am to avoid heat and use shaded picnic areas; in winter, visit around midday when animals are more active and temperatures are milder.
