The online ticketing system is a little onerous, but once at the Sanctuary, everything was great: maps, explanation from specialist staff very good. Exhibit structures good, although nocturnal animal areas are understandably dark so it is difficult to see the animals. The grounds are much improved as compared to when we visited many years ago. I laud your conservation efforts. Your passion is obvious. Well done. John Casey

Wondered about the check-in rigmarole. Surely the amount of information collected during the on-line booking would suffice. Couldn't see the point of repeating it all. Our six year old grandaughter's birthday will surely linger long in her memory.

The booking was a little late coming through apparently due to COVID, but it all went very smoothly. The instruction to print a hard copy of the ticket unnecessary- it did cause some worry as I do not possess a printer, and quite a drive to use one. The staff at Healesville Sanctuary processed the tickets, with no problem, from my phone. Thankyou.

Nestled in the heart of the Yarra Valley is the Healesville Sanctuary, a world-famous sanctuary to see Australian wildlife in their natural habitat. Reconnect with nature, from creek to canopy, as you stroll through 70 acres of bushland haven! This sanctuary also plays a vital role in saving endangered animals in Australia. Enjoy close up encounters with adorable native animals like koalas, kangaroos, wombats, emus, platypi, dingoes, and birds. Visit the Australian Wildlife Health Center as well, a working veterinary hospital that treats orphaned, injured, and ill wildlife. Meet the sleepy koalas, say g’day to a kangaroo, and wave at the shy little echidnas - all, in a fun and safe manner.
