The Wonderful Healesville Wildlife Sanctuary
The Healesville Animal Sanctuary is a wonderful place to visit and experience Australian native animals with guided tours and up-close encounters.
Where in the world are we?
The Healesville Animal Sanctuary is a great way to learn about Australian native animals and their habitats.
Visitors can take part in interactive activities, such as feeding the kangaroos and koalas, or take a guided tour to learn more about the sanctuary and its inhabitants. The sanctuary also offers educational programs for school groups, and hosts events throughout the year.
The sanctuary also offers a close encounter with one of Australia’s strangest animals, the platypus. You can walk through the platypus habitat and sprinkle some food on the water to encourage this unique animal to forage around you
Some of the close-up encounters book out early, so be sure you plan your visit. If you are not a zoo member, you need to book your tickets online for general admission. You can get all the details here
