What to expect

The Ballarat Wildlife Park is a great place for families to visit, with a wide range of Australian and international animals, including kangaroos, koalas, wombats, emus, and tigers. The park offers interactive experiences, such as hand-feeding kangaroos and koalas, and a reptile house with snakes, lizards, and frogs. Visitors can also see a colony of little penguins, meerkats, and a Komodo dragon. The park has a cafe and offers animal encounters, where visitors can get up close and personal with the animals. The park is wheelchair accessible, with concrete and gravel paths, but some areas may be difficult to manage due to uneven ground and slopes
