What to expect

Visit the Ballarat Wildlife Park for a comfortable walk around the attraction, with the chance to get up close and personal to some of Australia’s most famous native animals. Hand-feed kangaroos, see koalas, wombats, and emus, and marvel at the world’s smallest penguins.

With over 100 free-roaming kangaroos, more than 40 koalas, plus wombats, emus, and an exhibit of the world’s smallest penguins, the family-owned Ballarat Wildlife Park is a must-visit destination for nature lovers young and old.

See Kai and Akasha, the Sumatran/Siberian tigers, in the state-of-the-art tiger sanctuary. On weekends and school holidays, marvel at one of the biggest crocodiles in Australia, ‘CRUNCH’ the Super-Croc, as he feeds.

Enjoy lunch in the fully licensed cafe or bring along a picnic to have on the outdoor table and chairs, surrounded by the kangaroos. While at the park, ask the friendly staff about the ‘Animal Encounters’, which is a photo of you and an animal, professionally taken as your souvenir to take home.

The Ballarat Wildlife Park is a privately owned attraction run by The Parker family and their team. A single day entry pass includes daily animal presentations as well as access to the park’s souvenir shop and café.
