Our visit to Koala Park Sanctuary in Sydney was an unforgettable wildlife experience that offered a unique and up-close encounter with some of Australia’s most iconic native animals. Nestled in a peaceful, leafy setting just a short drive from Sydney city, the sanctuary provides a natural and family-friendly environment where animals are lovingly cared for and guests are warmly welcomed. The Koal...

Much better than expected, great value. They have a good range of animals and several places you can pet the animals at no extra cost.

The pavement is old and uneven so wheelchairs and anyone unsteady on their feet may have a hard time getting around. T...

There are plenty of marsupials to see, as well as dingoes and many varieties of birds and Squamata...

I had wonderful experienced for two hours,and luckily I bump into 2pm koala presentation,and got chance to take photos with koalas in close distance. Every feeding area has affectionate animals (yes I’m talking about the baby goat chewing my jacket in a nice way) And huge thanks for staff Allen! He showed me around and explained very nicely about the zoo, he really brightened my day!
