Maru Koala and Animal Park

“Visited Maru Koala & Animal Park again after nearly 10 years, and the difference was noticeable. Earlier, there was a wide variety of active kangaroos and the park felt more lively. This time, there were hardly around 10 kangaroos, and most were just sleeping. The Tasmanian devil was the only animal that felt energetic, running around and engaging. Most of the other animals were sitting or inactive. Overall, it wasn’t what we expected based on our previous visit. An average experience this time”

“Came on Sunday @ 1pm. Paid $35 for the entrance. Extra $3 for the feeding. Extra $$$ needed to have close up with koala. In the end, all the kangaroos are hiding and sleeping. Empty field. (You might have to beg kangaroos to come feed on your snacks). If you are lucky, 1 kangaroo might walk over from sleep. Toilets are well maintained, clean and beautiful. Staff are nice.”
