Ballarat Wildlife Park

Come experience the wonders of Australia's wildlife at Ballarat Wildlife Park, just 90 minutes from Melbourne!

Here you can hand-feed over 100 free-roaming kangaroos, get up close with koalas, wombats, little penguins, dingoes, and Tasmanian devils, and meet Crunch the 5-metre-long super croc in the reptile house. You can also check out tree kangaroos, giant tortoises, emus, and Sumatran tigers, and make some unforgettable memories with an Animal Encounter. Cuddle a wombat, pat a koala, and even have a snake wrap around your shoulders, all with a professional photo to remember the experience. The park is open every day from 9 am - 5 pm, except for Christmas Day. Come explore the wild side of Australia at Ballarat Wildlife Park!
