Did you know?

Ballarat is a family-owned and operated wildlife park! It is headed by the Parker family and their team of staff, who help care for the animals and keep things running smoothly. They are always looking for volunteers to help out in the park, so if that interests you, check out their website to apply.

Patrick was the oldest bare-nosed wombat in captivity, known to man. He arrived at Ballarat in 1987 as an orphan and celebrated his 31st birthday on August 28, 2016.

The Ballarat Wildlife Park has fundraising programs to help build better habitats for animals like the Tasmanian devil, koalas, and the critically endangered tiger. You can support their efforts by donating money to plant trees, sponsoring a koala, or participating in any of their other fundraising activities.

A decent chunk of the animals you will see at Ballarat Wildlife Park are free-roaming and are not confined to a particular section of the park. Don't worry, though; all the carnivores have their own sections where you can safely visit them.

Why visit Ballarat Wildlife Park?

Meet free-range animals

Kangaroos, koalas, and wombats are some of the animals you will find freely roaming the wildlife park. Get to meet and interact with these animals during your visit, for a truly unforgettable wildlife experience.

Winner of Best Attraction 2023

Ballarat Wildlife Park won the Best Attraction award at the Victorian Tourism Awards in 2023. This goes to show how good the overall experience of visiting the park has been for past guests and what you can expect on your visit.
