An excellent way to experience a lot of interesting animals, including gentle patting of kangaroos! Compact and easier for children and those who don't like long walks! Tickets via Headout accidently charged for an extra adult but after notififying at Ballarat Wildlife Park on entry, Headout were prompt and polite with the important refund after I emailed. Thanks Ballarat Wildlife Park for a wonderful time with my grandchildren (7&10yrs) and thanks to Headout!

We had an amazing time at the Ballarat Wildlife Park! Using the Headout tickets at the entrance was super quick and easy, which got our day off to a great start. The staff were some of the kindest I have ever met. Getting up close to the koalas and seeing the incredible reptiles was unforgettable. We also fed the kangaroos, and they were such cute animals! It was my first time seeing these animals and the penguins. Thank you to the Ballarat Wildlife Park for providing this experience. I highly recommend it!

Sovereign Hill was everything and more than we expected. The day was amazing and the staff were awesome. I wish we had more time there and the only disappointment was not having the Cobb and co coach running. But we will be back.

Smooth, friendly staff at entry and throughout the Park. The Park is clean, open spaces, no animal smell. Love the Kangaroos, so used to people, you can feed them from your hands, pet them, take photos with them. Coffee shop on site is a bonus and gift shop too.

First trip with the grandkids. They were excited about the gold. With trepidation we took the mine tour & thoroughly enjoyed it. They loved colouring their candles.
